Instructor Courses, Camps & Dream Holidays
Dates & Prices
Below you'll find dates and prices for the 2012/13 season.
Please note that most course prices will increase in the run up to the season because the price of components such as lift passes increases as the winter approaches. So, as with most things in life: the early bird catches the worm!
2 Week Camp - Fernie
26 December 2012 – 5 January 2013
Please note that this New Year course is shorter (10 nights) than our standard 2 week camps. This is due to Christmas being mid week this year and feedback from past clients who indicated they'd prefer not to have to be away from work over three weeks. Rest assured that you'll pack in lots of time on the slopes!

This will run Monday to Thursday. New year course has six days of coaching spread over the duration of the course.
Accommodation
Lift pass
Dinners
These are provided 3 nights per week in our own restaurant at the Red Tree Lodge. This enables you to explore Fernie's other restaurants or use the self catering facilities on the other nights.
Breakfasts
These are served seven days a week at the Red Tree Lodge and provide you with the perfect start to a day on the mountains.
Airport transfers (when coinciding with group flight times)
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.
7 day shuttle to resort
In Fernie we own our own buses and provide a morning and afternoon shuttle to/from the resort each day. The journey time is 8 minutes. We provide ski lockers next to the lifts, so there's no need to worry about taking your equipment on the bus.
Lift queue priority during lessons
Ski / Snowboard maintenance tuition
24hr staffing
Weekly social events
New Year’s Eve Party (if applicable!)
10% Discount on ski / snowboard equipment
Available in several local shops.
Optional Extras:
Flights (from £650)
We can arrange return flights for those travelling between the UK and Canada. Flights cost from £650 (flights in the New Year period may be more expensive - please contact the office for more details). You can opt for a flight on your booking form. If you arrange your own flight you can meet us at the airport for the group transfer bus to the resort. Please contact us with any questions.
Cat-skiing ($430/£250 approx)
The day cat-skiing is a highlight of most people's trip to Fernie. Somewhat similar to heli-skiing, it involves a whole day of skiing fresh powder in the backcountry getting rides to the top of the mountain in a cat (aka 'piste basher'). Good times guaranteed!
Not Included:
Travel insurance
We can provide you with details of companies when you book.
Ski / snowboard kit
If you don't yet own ski equipment you can rent a "high performance" rental package for between $515 and $575 (£320-360) depending on what time of year you come to Fernie. Alternatively you could take advantage of the great equipment advice of our instructors and buy skis, bindings, poles and ski boots. Packages range from $1000 - $2000. Snowboard, bindings and boots are slightly cheaper.
