Fernie 11 Week Instructor Course Testimonials And Reviews
At Nonstop we know that doing an 11 week instructor course is a HUGE decision! For some, doing a season like this is a once in a lifetime event, whereas others do this course to set themselves up for a life in the mountains. Whatever your reason behind doing a course like this, it helps to hear from people that have been there and done it. If you would like to speak with a past participant of our 11 week instructor course in Fernie then let us know – we have loads of past Nonstoppers that would be willing to speak to you! In the meantime, have a read of some of the comments that the 12/13 alumni left for us as feedback…. thanks guys!

Last season Whitelines Snowboard Magazine came to visit Nonstop in Fernie to take a look at our 6 week “MTM” off-piste camp. As well as spending some time with our instructors, they got to experience the heli trip to Boulder Hut, where they stayed and toured the backcountry on splitboards for 4 days.
