The Package

Airport Transfers

We include a shuttle service between the airport and the resort. The departure date and times are coordinated with the times of the group flights we arrange from London to Canada. If travelling at other times or on different dates then we can advise you on the public transfer services available.

Shuttle to the resort

In Fernie & Red Mountain we own our own buses and provide a weekday morning and afternoon shuttle to/from the resort. In Banff a season bus pass is included for use on the public buses to the resorts. In Whistler the accommodation is ski-in/out, but a free bus service is provided by the hotel.

Training for CASI Level 2 Instructor Certification

If becoming an instructor is your goal you should set your sights on gaining your level 2. We'll train you up to take the level 2 course either at the end of the 11-weeks or you can take it just after the course has ended giving you more time to train and prepare.

Once you have gained your Level 1 you are able to gain work experience at the local ski school. This will make your CV stand out from the crowd and also allow you to develop your teaching technique - an all round good experience.

Instructor Career advice

During the course there will be a seminar on working as a ski instructor covering job applications, work visas and typical hours and wages. In addition you will receive our 40 page advice handbook on "working as a ski instructor" which includes a directory of ski schools around the world.

Day trip to Kimberely Ski Resort (Fernie course)

As part of the Fernie 11 week course we will take the whole group, plus their instructors, to a local ski resort called Kimberely. It's a great road trip and a good chance to ride some new slopes and experience a new ski resort.
