Who is Mark Hornby?

Well, truthfully, Mark (also called’ 007’) is known around town as ‘that guy who did the Iron Man Triathlon’, and also for his ‘muscular build’.  As a fitness trainer, it is hard not to spot him at the Meadow Park Sports Centre, and he is well respected in the Whistler community for his coaching expertise in all facets of sport – including ski instructing!  Mark is wonderfully patient and a great listener, while also a ‘go-getter’ and a terrific motivator.  (You might like to try one of his ‘Die-while-trying-to-get-your-ski-legs-in-shape’ classes! Offered at Meadow Park, usually in the fall).

Mark’s knowledge of ski teaching, physiology, biomechanics, and sport training are reflected in all parts of his lessons.  He teaches in a fun, technical, and safe environment.  His enthusiasm for skiing is endless, and so it is for teaching others to fully enjoy the…. SPORT OF SKIING!

Mark’s Favorite Thing About Whistler:

 Ø    The spectacular views in the early mornings and late afternoons, from the peaks of Whistler/Blackcomb Mountains, as well as the challenging ski terrain and snow conditions.

  Mark’s Best Whistler Vacation Tip:

 Ø    For the best breakfast in town, go to “Chef Bernard’s”.

 Ø    Avoid line-ups by taking ski lessons with Mark!

 Ø    For afternoon/evening family activities, try the Meadow Park Sports Centre.  It’s a great value for fitness activities, such as swimming, skating, and weight room facilities.
