This is a place I am familiar with. Canada's mountain province, British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, let alone been able to live. Whistler is a place where you can snowboard almost all year because of the elevation for Whistler Mountain is at 5,020 feet and Blackcomb at 5,280 feet. Blackcomb is where the summer glacier riding is open from June until mid August with a number of different camps including: Camp Of Champions, Momentum Ski Camp, Whistler Summer Camp, Shred Camp and Pro-Ride. I've always been lucky enough to ride at Camp of Champions for the past 5 years where there are 4, one week long sessions with invited pro riders and coaches for the campers to learn from and hang out with.

On top of the great mountains and camp, Whistler has an amazing apres life. Poachable pools at numerous hotels, a number of lakes with volleyball, swimming, boating, wakeboarding and more as well as mountain biking, bike trails, kids zones with games and rides and so much more. It is a very active town, and once the sun goes down, there is at least one bar that has "specials" for 7 nights a week of parties, if you can handle it.
