Description
Snowboarding Holiday - Whistler, Canada with Neilson. This west coast mountain resort is world-renowned as being North America’s biggest and best - both in area & vertical. The 216km of pistes cover two mountains & are linked by an impressive high-speed lift system. Whether a complete novice or a downhill Olympian, there is an amazing choice of well laid out, maintained & signposted slopes. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced skiers & boarders revel in the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls available.
The accommodation we feature is in one of the two most conveniently located, pedestrianised village areas, each lying at the foot of their respective mountain & a short ten minute walk apart. Both Blackcomb & Whistler Villages are teeming with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars & clubs & there are many exciting on & off slope activities to try out. It’s a party town with a relaxed west coast buzz & a roaring après-ski scene.

Both mountains have exceptional intermediate terrain for all courage levels. The trails are groomed to a very high standard and are clearky signposted, a necessity as both mountains offer a hugh choice of runs. The 4 day Ski Esprit Group tuition package offers a fun sociable way to improve your skiing. Alternatively, a 'Supergroups' day offers small groups of skiers the opportunity to benefit from more personalised instruction.

About Neilson
We've been around for around 25 years. We started as two separate companies, one providing top-end ski holidays and the other taking people sailing in Greece. For around two decades we became better and better at putting together holidays, one company doing fun things in the snow, the other having adventures in the Med. Then, in 1999, Thomas Cook, who owned both companies, decided that it would make sense for us to join together. That was when the famous orange logo appeared, and Neilson as we know it came into existence.
