Accommodation & Meals

Fernie

Option 1: The Red Tree Lodge

We are proud to be the new owners of a 42 bedroom lodge in the very centre of Fernie. The lodge, which recently underwent an extensive refurbishment, has a comfortable welcoming atmosphere with fantastic facilities like a hot tub & sauna, restaurant & bar, movie room, laundry facilities, & ski tuning rooms.

The lodge has spacious bedrooms each with double or queen beds and ensuite bathrooms. Most bedrooms have great views of the stunning local mountains and some have private balconies. There are a variety of bedroom configurations: most are twin rooms (two double/queen beds), some are triples (three single beds) and a few are quads (Four singles or two bunk beds).

Option 2: A comfortable Fernie town house

For those wanting a more independent experience we offer the chance to live in a house in downtown Fernie just a few minutes walk from the bars and shops on the main street and from the NONSTOP lodge.

Living in a house will allow more space, privacy and self-sufficiency than living in the lodge. Those living in houses will still be able to enjoy and use all the facilities at the lodge. Each house typically sleeps between 4 and 8 people and has a comfortably furnished sitting room (with TV, DVD player and stereo), dining area and fully equipped kitchen. Most people share twin rooms although there are a limited amount of single rooms, offered on a ‘first come, first served' basis for an additional charge.

*Please note that accommodation in our lodge is the only option on our March 3-week ski instructor course.

Banff

Option 1: Accommodation for the 3-week course - The Voyager Hotel
Located on Banff Avenue, Banff 's main street, The Voyager Hotel is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and each have en-suite bathrooms, cable TV and either queen or double sized beds. Most people share double rooms although singles are available for an additional supplement. The hotel has great facilities: after a long day riding with your mates you can enjoy the hotel's heated outdoor swimming pool, soak in the hot tub or relax your muscles in the sauna. There is also a 'communal common room' exclusive for NONSTOP Ski participants to socialise, watch movies or play cards.

Option 2: For those who want to stay for the full season
We now offer our 3-week course with a seasonal accommodation package in Banff that will enable you to get qualified at the start of the season and then live in town for the remainder working as an instructor.

We have teamed up with a local Banff couple who have been providing accommodation in Banff for many years. The houses and apartments are all close to the centre of town. Most people share twin rooms but there are a small number of single rooms available at an additional charge. Each house typically sleeps between 4 and 10 people and has a comfortably furnished sitting room (with TV, DVD player and stereo), dining area and fully equipped kitchen.

Whistler Course

We have secured some fantastic accommodation in Whistler for our courses. It's luxury, it's ski in-ski out, you have a view of the piste from the hot tub and you have all the amenities you need to make it feel like home for the time you spend there. Most of you will share a twin room although there are a limited number of single rooms available. Couples applying together will be offered a private double room - please ring the office for details. NONSTOP Ski will endeavour to place those of similar ages in the same accommodation.
