Skiing at Whitewater...it is Your Destiny

With the clouds bringing a blanket of snow to the mountaintops, it’s high time to start getting pumped for winter. You might even be dreaming about becoming one with the powder, like those hard-core skiers and boarders in the newest crop of ski films set to debut over the coming weeks.

But before you can reach such lofty visions of self-actualization, you’ve gotta work your way up. Remember Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the psychedelic pyramid that you learned about in high school? That dude was on to something. Basically, he argued that you need to satisfy more basic needs before realizing your personal potential.

And so it is with skiing. Thankfully, Whitewater offers the opportunity to fulfill your destiny.

Beginning with physiological needs like food, drink and shelter, I’ll reveal how Whitewater provides the foundation for peak performance. Sneak peak: it might have something to do with Whitewater’s reputation for serving legendary ski meals and local beverages. And the amazing places to stay in Nelson.

We’ll progress towards the next level of safety and security, including the scoop on avalanche education at Whitewater and what you can do to play hard and stay safe.

It’s hard not to develop feelings of belongingness and love with Whitewater’s well-known intimate and friendly ambience. In fact, striking up conversations with friendly locals on the chairlifts or in the café might make this the easiest phase to fulfill.

Developing confidence in your skiing and shredding abilities is the next step of the evolutionary process. Laps on the new Summit Chair will help, but taking a lesson with the talented WH2O team of instructors will take your skills to the next level, bringing you one step closer to…

Self-actualization, or better known around here as becoming one with winter. Even if you never star in future ski porn flicks, you can realize your dreams of epic powder days that will last a lifetime.

Join me on this journey towards self-actualization as we dig deeper into the Whitewater powder formula. I promise it’ll be way more fun than falling asleep at class in high school.
