Pro ride is an amazing experience, you have some of the best freestyle/freeride coaches In the world at your finger tips. I rocked up to the pro ride camp (Brio house) solo, I wasn't really sure what the camp was going to be like or whether I'd make some new mates. But after being on the camp I can say it turned out to be the best snowboarding trip I'd ever taken. I had made some life long friends and Karen is super nice and friendly. If you're reading this and you are a beginner to freestyle and have never tried a 180 or freeride off piste the coaches are all really nice and will walk you through the technique to the tricks and help you improve your technique until you nail it or if you are experienced in the park these coaches can help you dial in your 7's/backflips/wildcats whatever level you're at. So if you're pondering whether to try it out... do it. If you want to make some new friends and get coached by the best of the best then this is definitely for you.

P.s. I had never landed a 3 before this camp nor did I spend much time in the park as my confidence was pretty low in the park... I am now glued to the park.

Pro-ride makes you feel like you are part of a really fun and inclusive snowboarding family thanks to the way Karen and the coaches run things.
I passed my casi level 2 thanks to Pro-ride and i would recommend them to anyone who is looking to train to be an instructor, get better at snowboarding or just to make snowboarding even more fun! All the coaches are really amazing snowboarders and teachers. If you don't know the mountain well, they will take you to some really sweet spots and they can also improve your freestyle and freeriding even if you are already at a fairly advanced level. Every chance you get to ride with head coach Duncan is a privilege as you can learn so much from him and his snowboarding is completely flawless. Most of my lessons were with Terra and she is an amazing instructor - she taught me how to better analyse my own and other peoples snowboarding which not only improved my own riding but also my ability to teach effectively. I also had great lessons from Tim, Kelsey, Lance & Alan.
If you want a great winter in the best place in the world (Whistler), i can't recommend Pro-ride enough.

Hi Karen! We are back in Vancouver. It was hard to leave Whistler, we had such a great time. Thank you so much for everything. ProRide is awesome. All of the coaches are so professional and really really good in teaching so that we could bring our skills up on a higher level! We definitely will come back!

Pro-Ride has put together a great program. The coaches are world class! The attention to detail and the precise feedback I received were key to my improvement. ...My confidence and competence has jumped a few levels. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to experience immersing myself in Whistler with such amazing coaches and also wonderful camp mates. I've made life long friends who are just as passionate. I can't wait to stay longer (did 4 weeks) and get both my Level 1 and 2 CASI certification

I just want to thank you for 2 fantastic weeks in Whistler, it was one of the best ski holidays I have had. The Pro ride team was so professional in everything over my entire stay, you made everything just so easy. The instructors were so professional and I learnt so much in just 2 weeks, special mention to Duncan and Tim, those 2 were fantastic. I will definitely be back again, next time with some friends, I have already told a few of friends back home and they want to do it. Hopefully I can sort out or be back next season.
Enjoy the rest of the season.
