Whistler 4 and 11 Week Ski & Snowboard Instructor Course
Base Camp Group run ski & snowboard instructor training courses in Europe and North America
Our Whistler Ski & Snowboard Instructor Course gives you the perfect opportunity to become an instructor while experiencing some of the finest powder Canada has to offer. With an average annual snowfall of 914cm, over 1500 meters of vertical and the best instructors in North America, our Whistler ski & snowboard instructor course is likely to be one of the most exciting experiences of your life
Ski and Snowboard Programme
The ski & snowboard programme is carefully designed so that you can learn to become an instructor while making the most of Whistler's awesome powder conditions. Our ski & snowboard coaches prepare you for your Level 1 examination course as quickly as possible so you have the flexibility during the course to develop your skiing and snowboarding the way you want.
After passing your Level 1 ski or snowboard exam you can start training towards your Level 2, gain experience with the ski school, or switch disciplines so that you are an instructor in both skiing and snowboarding. If you simply want to build on your solid technical grounding and perfect your park and powder skills we specialise in that too. You have ski or snowboard lessons 4 hours a day Monday through Friday. While lessons are intensive we feel this is the right balance between work and play and leaves you a few hours each day to go off with friends during the course.
