Hi Folks,
My son and I are returning on our fourth trip to Whistler this August and we will be riding there 8/2 - 8/7. I'm looking for a recommendation on guides/coaches that can help with 4 (half) days of private instruction for him. In the past we have used the instructors at Whistler and the DFX Camp; they have been great - but I am looking for alternatives.

I am planning 4 morning sessions (3hrs each, the first one on Sunday the 3rd). These sessions are just for my 10 year old son, so it is 1:1 and the instructor should be experienced with coaching youth riders. He rides Advanced trails; the instructor will have fun. He is primarily visual/kinesthetic learner...but I really need a coach that can get through to him via explanation of fundamentals too...that's where having experience dealing with youth will come in handy.

Suggestions!?

Thanks in advance.
Andy

I would call guest services and ask to set up a private request with someone with lots of kids experience, this much time in advance they should be able to sort it out!

Thanks folks, for the ideas. After some looking around...I'm gonna try ZEP Techniques for 3 days and see how that goes.
