Chris Kaipio
Whether its building up the confidence to try a harder green run,
getting off the groomed and trying the powder, or refining your skills so
that you can master the steeps and bowls, Chris can help you get there. There is no such a thing as the perfect turn, just as
there is no right or wrong way to ski. However, there is a better way that
lets you explore more terrain, feeling better about yourself, while using less energy.
Chris can show you this way so that you can have the best
Whistler experience possible!

"After a brief conversation on the lift we identified the areas I wished to improve and then skied off the first lift with a few goals in mind. Chris provided clear and simple directions followed by adequate time for application. Because I consider myself a quick study I tried to anticipate the next moves. Chris encouraged me to master one technique at a time rather than rush ahead too quickly. By following his instruction my confidence increased with each new skill.
The reward for his step by step instruction were the tears of joy that ran down my face after getting down The Saddle successfully in control and without fear.
I enjoyed the Saturday morning lesson with Chris so much that I referred a colleague to him Monday. I trust he is a valued
asset on your team and hope to see him again next year if I am blessed enough to return to your
mountain."
