Pro Ride is excited to announce we have camps confirmed and running in January 2021.  Programs will be a little modified this season but we have both a freeride and freestyle session running each week in January with limited camp spaces so if youd like to join us please send an email to snowboard [at] pro-ride [dot] com for more information. 

Pro Ride Camps 2021.jpg

Although camp will look a little different this season Pro Ride is open and looking to run up to 8 weeks of programs based on demand during the months of January and February 2021.  International Borders are currently still closed however we are monitoring the situation week by week and happy to welcome international campers as soon as travel resumes.  

If you do plan to join us this season we ask that you email us at snowboard [at] pro-ride [dot] com and let us know if you are travelling domestically within Canada or from another country and then we will send more information on availability and accommodation options.  Our revised dates for the season are available on our website  

Hope to see you on the hill this year! 

It’s opening day at Whistler Blackcomb! Temps have dropped and WB is cranking up the snow guns. With snow in the forecast more terrain will be opening every day.

Pro Ride kicks off the first week of Camp December 7^th, and we are stoked to see you all soon!

NO NEED, VAIL RESORTS ARE ON IT!

Vail Resorts have announced a long-term deal to power Whistler Blackcomb with Clean Energy. Coupled with an agreement to supply the mountains restaurants with compostable and recycled items.

Meaning you can ride “guilt free”!

Vail Resorts has announced two new initiatives to significantly reduce the company's environmental footprint.

The company has signed a long-term wind energy contract with Lincoln Clean Energy to purchase the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power 100 per cent of the company's estimated North American operations by 2020.

Vail Resorts also announced a partnership with Eco-Products to supply all of its North American restaurants with compostable and recycled items, eliminating conventional single-use plastics.

In addition many of the independent restaurants and shops in the village are doing their own thing – We especially like Moguls Coffee House in the village square with their novel compostable “Stirring Sticks”.

Pro Ride is excited to announce our new partnership with the new Pangea Pod Hotel in Whistler. 

We’ve teamed up with Canada’s first capsule hotel, offering campers the opportunity to stay in the centre of Whistler’s pedestrian village without breaking the bank. All Pro Ride Campers will get 10% off their stay at Pangea!  

Pangea is a hub where guests can meet like-minded riders, enjoy an espresso or craft beer in The Living Room or on The Rooftop Patio, but still have their own personal space at the end of the day.  There’s secure gear storage and wicked fast free WiFi throughout the property.  Pangea is Canada's first ever boutique pod hotel offering a unique concept in a central location.

Campers wishing to stay their entire camp or just a few extra nights before or after in Whistler will benefit from an exclusive discount at the Pangea Pod.

We have no idea how or WHY but on a beautiful day during a Freeride coaching session this is where he ended up!
