Fernie 11 Week Ski Instructor Course Reviews

We understand that packing up and moving to Canada for an 11 week ski instructor course is a BIG decision! For some of you, doing a season in this way is a once in a lifetime event, whereas some skiers see this as their entry point into the global ski instructor industry or a life of living in the mountains.

It doesn't matter why you're thinking of doing a ski instructor course, we know that it's great to hear from people who have been there before. If you think it would help to chat to someone who's already done the 11 week ski instructor course in Fernie, then get in touch. We have a load of past Nonstoppers who are more than happy to chat about their experiences with you. Just try not to make them too jealous eh!

Check out the comments below from the latest batch of happy Nonstop clients from the 2013/14 season...

The course definitely exceeded my expectations in many ways! The lessons, skiing , extra activities, the town have all been fantastic and the best part was to be able to share all this with an amazing group of people!

Fernie has exceeded what I expected of it, in both the town and resort. Both are epically awesome and have a lot to be explored. The instructors make the course so much fun, and the hill is a massive playground, whatever sort of riding you are into. It has been the trip of a lifetime, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great experience!! Got to know a lot of new interesting people and places. Loved it!

Nonstop provided a professional and A rated coaching experience which I thought had developed my skiing throughout the entire 11 week course. Fernie has to be the best resort for ski development that I have visited. There is such varied terrain and conditions which allow you to become a good all round skier.

Stuart – 26, Berwickshire, UK

My overall course experience was just amazing. I thought that the whole course was very well structured and all of the instructors had their own individual different ways of teaching which was great as they all have different background and experience. The extra activities put on and run by Nonstop were all really great as well. Winter camping was one of the best.

Heidi – 37, Perth, Australia

Fernie is an amazing resort offering lots of powder, quiet slopes, steep runs and varying conditions to explore the whole season long! If you want to see your skiing improve out of this world, Nonstop is for you! Not a walk in the park though, it takes hard work and, lots of hot tubs for the tired muscles. A cute town offering nice shops, bars, cafes and restaurants make it a great place to visit.

James – 19, Hertfordshire, UK

Best three months of my life. The instructors on the nonstop course are without a doubt the best, most friendly instructors I have had, (so much better than the French!) I have met so many people who I won't forget, it has been such an amazing experience.

Alastair – 29, Warwickshire, UK

Best 11 weeks ever, the only bad thing is the fact it has to end! Great mountain, great town and great friends!

Flo – 25, Perth, Australia

Fantastic! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and their enthusiasm for snow sports and the mountain life is infectious!

DAN – 18, GLAMORGAN, WALES

Absolutely amazing, best 3 months of my life, made some of the closest friends I have.

Tom – 21, Kent, UK

Fernie is the best place in the world! Everyone is so friendly, and combined with the awesome skiing, has made it the best time of my life! Without doubt, the best experience of my life! No more needs to be said!

Claire – 19, Edinburgh, Scotland

It's been incredible, can't believe the number of opportunities I've been given during the past couple of weeks including teaching experience which was really useful.
