10
YEARS OF FOCUSING ON ONE THING - BEING THE BEST
This season will be out 10th running adult
snowboard camps in Whistler. We decided from the beginning
that we wanted to be the number #1 winter camp for adults
in the world. To achieve this we based ourselves in
Whistler year round and only offer snowboard programs.
By doing this it allows us to focus on the things which
make our camp a success - delivering outstanding accommodations,
activities and sourcing the best coaches in the business.

THE
CAMP OWNERS OVERSEE EVERYTHING
Anthony Crute (Pro Snowboarder) and Karen Lyons
Crute live, breath and eat snowboarding. They oversee
everything from marketing, accommodation selection,
hiring, staff training, on hill coaching and even BBQ'ing.
When you sign up with Pro Ride you will hang out and
ride with the camp owners. This is why they started
Pro Ride - so they could share all of their great experiences
and knowledge with you. They work hard, ride hard and
do not settle for anything less than what needs to be
done so that you have a great time
and achieve your personal goals.

LOWEST
CAMPER TO COACH RATIO OF ANY PROGRAM
At Pro Ride we know that to facilitate learning
it is much more productive if you only have a few people
to train at any one time. We set in stone a company
initiative from day one to always have a 4:1 camper
to coach ratio. We do train with up to a maximum group
size of 8 however any time we have 5 or more people
we have two coaches to give you that personal feedback
you need to help you progress. |

A
Few Camper Testimonials.
"My time at Pro-Ride was fantastic - the 4 week
course progressed my riding to a standard that not only let
me walk through the level 1 instructor exam but also let me
feel more than confident to go riding with the more experienced
instructors during my time working for snowboard school. I
met a lot of very cool people both on the course and whilst
living in the Pro-Ride house. There isn't a better location
for a camp and there isn't a better camp at this location!"
Jonny Murty, UK
 
"Pro-Ride is an awesome concept, without doubt the
best way I have found to improve my riding, and great value
too. I can't recommend you highly enough and hope to come
back again some time in the future"
Dan Hayden, Australia
"I hope all is well, I just wanted to thank-you
for an amazing week of pro-ride! I learned so much from each
