Performance & Development Camps in Fernie

Come and experience the very best that Canada has to offer. With three weeks of Nonstop tuition and guidance, your ski or snowboard skills will improve massively, allowing you to truly enjoy every corner of one of the world’s best powder-heavy resorts.

Fernie legendary powderProgress with leaps and bounds. It’s very hard to make real progress when you only ski or snowboard for one week at a time. You spend most of the week getting your stamina and skill back, then by the time you begin to make some progress it’s time to head home again! With our three week courses, our focussed instruction will ensure that you push through the boundaries that have always stood in your way. We love seeing skiers and snowboarders hitting new levels and we love showing them exactly how to enjoy their newly refined skills!

NONSTOP groupJoin a group to suit your standard. We know that the best way to learn is to ski or ride with people of similar ability to you. You can then move at the same speed and take on terrain that provides a challenge for you all. Being one of our most popular camps means we have the ability to split our camps into several groups of varying ability.

Development camps are for those who are relatively confident on the piste, who want to tighten up their technique and learn how to handle powder and bumps.

Performance camps are for those who already have off-piste experience and want to hit the best parts of the mountain from the beginning, while tightening up their higher end technique.

Snowboarding Fernie Cedar BowlBecome comfortable with your surroundings. All too often people miss the best areas a mountain has to offer because they either don’t have enough time to explore, or don’t have the confidence to venture too far from the beaten path. Our coaches love to explore and show you their favourite spots on the mountain – yes they have the best job in the world! Over the course of this three week camp you’ll surprise yourself by hitting challenging terrain with a whole new level of confidence.

Go one-on-one with the pros

New to the programme, you will now benefit from two one-on-one private lessons with a top level instructor. Getting undivided attention from a coach can really help you crack even the toughest of bad habits and we have seen some real 'eureka' moments since introducing these sessions in 2009.

NONSTOP's home in FernieGreat accommodation, great facilities! Back in 2007 we acquired our very own hotel and quickly set about a full refurbishment and design change. The Red Tree Lodge is now the perfect home and operational centre for our instructor courses and camps, with comfortable, spacious rooms and great facilities, including a games room, bar, restaurant, sauna and hot tub. For those looking for a little more personal space we even have houses available located close to the lodge.
