Fernie Development & Performance camps

Do you feel like you have reached a plateau with your skiing or snowboarding? Are you finding it hard to progress on the annual one week ski trip? This course will see you smashing through those barriers!

ski and snowboard course FernieOur 2 week camps are designed for skiers and snowboarders with a range of abilities, who want to progress to the next level. Our expert coaches will develop your technique on and off the piste and will arm you with an arsenal of tips and tactics for taking on new and exciting terrain.

Train with the best. Fernie attracts some of the world’s best ski and snowboard coaches, many of which have made this incredible ski town their permanent home. We have been lucky enough to secure the very best to work on our programmes – what our instructors don’t know about skiing and snowboarding isn’t worth knowing! Over this two week training camp you’ll benefit from their collective decades of experience, as they help you master the basics or refine those high-end mountain skills.

Groups to suit your ability

Development Camps. Our development groups are for intermediates with less all-mountain experience. We’ll tighten up your technique on the piste before showing you how to tackle bumps and powder. By the end of the two weeks, the whole mountain will be your playground!

Performance Camps. Our performance groups are for more experienced skiers and snowboarders who want to hit the best and most challenging parts of the mountain from the first day. We won’t waste any time hunting out the very best powder stashes and showing you how to perfect your technique.

Snowboarding powder FernieFernie rules the roost. Fernie Alpine Resort has a legendary status in Canada, and rightly so! With five huge bowls to explore and some of the most exciting and rugged off-piste north of the Equator, it is easy to see why the mountain has such a huge reputation. The mountain also boasts a great variation of pisted runs for those who are not yet ready to jump straight into the off-piste, so there really is something for everyone.

Skiing powder in FernieDid someone say powder? We can’t predict the weather, but if you are looking for some powder Fernie has an amazing track record! Renowned for great snow and lots of it, Fernie regularly exceeds over 26ft per winter and an average of 48cm per week that the resort’s open. Fernie just constantly serves up pure ski and snowboard perfection!

Course accomodation FernieYour rest is important! Having so much great terrain to explore is tiring, so we know how important rest is. With that in mind we provide excellent accommodation for your stay in Fernie at our very own Red Tree Lodge. We have completely refurbished and redesigned the lodge to be the perfect accommodation for ski and snowboard courses. It boasts comfortable and spacious rooms and a host of excellent facilities, including hot tub, sauna, bar, restaurant, games room, full kitchen facilities and a great ski and snowboard storage room with boot heaters.
