WHY CHOOSE NONSTOP Ski & Snowboard? - Em-Online

6-WEEK ‘MASTER THE MOUNTAIN’ COURSE
FOCUSED COACHING, INSTRUCTOR TRAINING, AND OFF-PISTE ADVENTURE
Held in Fernie, our ‘Master the Mountain’ course will develop your all-mountain skills so that you can ski or snowboard with confidence and style
both on the piste and in the backcountry powder. Additionally, as part of your ski or snowboard improvement you will be coached to achieve the
Level 1 Canadian instructor qualification, which subject to obtaining a work visa, could enable you to work as an instructor for the rest of the season.
This course is suitable for intermediate-to-advanced skiers and snowboarders and, as a minimum, you should have at least five weeks of on-snow
experience. If you’re thinking of taking time out from work or study, looking for an adventure, and are for a challenge, then our ‘Master the Mountain’
course is for you.
COURSE STRUCTURE
In order to improve not just your ski or
snowboard technique but your ‘all mountain’
skills the coaching takes place in two mountain
environments. In the boundaries of Fernie Alpine
Resort and in the famed Canadian Rockies
backcountry wilderness. This combination
allows you to fine tune your technique within
the patrolled area of the resort and then develop
your off-piste skills in the untracked powder of
the backcountry.
COACHING
Directed by Jens Mende, one of Canada’s most respected ski pros and instructor examiners, our
team of ski and snowboard coaches will focus on improving your technique in all conditions:
on the piste, in the moguls, through the trees, down slalom courses, in the terrain park and
in the powder. By the end of the course you’ll be able to tackle any challenge the mountain
throws at you.
From Monday to Thursday each week you will receive five hours of instruction per day. Fernie is
renowned for some of the best and most varied terrain in North America; from perfect groomed
pistes to deep powder runs through gladed trees and down open bowls. The vast majority of
the terrain within the resort boundaries is regarded as off-piste so your ‘all mountain’ skills
will constantly be tested and improving. Fernie was voted best North American Resort in 2004
and is famed for it’s ‘steep and deep conditions.’
As part of the programme you’ll train towards the Canadian Level 1 Instructor qualification, the
assessment for which will be at the end of week five. Training to instructor level will have huge
beneficial effects on your personal skiing or snowboarding as it provides a technical approach
to the two sports. This enables you to effectively analyse and correct your own mistakes which
in turn results in a steeper learning curve.
THE PACKAGE INCLUDES A SEASON PASS SO
THOSE WANTING TO STAY IN CANADA CAN SKI
