Real World Experience
On Mountain Labs
The Whistler Adventure School prides itself on training students in some of the most challenging terrain in the world, the coast mountains surrounding the Sea to Sky. Students benefit from a hands-on experience, unparalleled in North America. Our instructors safely educate, train, and inspire students to become the people they wish to be. Students in guide courses learn the skills necessary to become successful guides.
Convenient Classrooms
After a full day in the mountains skiing and shooting footage, students continue their education in our state-of-the-art Function Junction classrooms. WAS has a fully equipped media and production lab on site.
Whistler Labs
Students in the Photography and Filmmaking courses are tasked with shooting footage in and around the village, on the mountain and at numerous Whistler venues. The events and activities on the Whistler calendar give opportunities to capture unique images. Under the guidance of our media instructors, students capture amazing moments and build their portfolio.
