Nonstop in the Media

Since we launched in 2002 we have been causing quite a stir in the ski and snowboard industry, but don't take our word for it - read what the experts have to say. We've been getting coverage and reviews in some great places, just take a look at some of them below...

TELEGRAPH SKI & SNOWBOARD - World Snow Awards

BEST UK Snowsports TOUR OPERATOR X 3 yEARS!

We were delighted to be named as a winner at the World Snow Awards in the 'Best UK Snowsports Tour Operator' category for the third year in succession. Determined by public vote, this win saw Nonstop see off fierce competition from huge players in the ski industry, such as Crystal, as well as some smaller niche companies too. Thanks to all our fans who voted for us to scoop this prize, we are extremely grateful for all you support.

Heliskiing is strictly for the adventurous: Pristine powder, whirring rotors and a sense of exhilaration in British Columbia (October 2015)

The whirr of rotor blades, the whiff of jet fuel, the mere mention of hopping from an $8m (£5.3m) machine onto untracked, powder-upholstered slopes – it sets the heart of a certain thrill-seeking type aflutter. Yet no matter how experienced the skier – from twice-a-year intermediates to born-on-snow captains of industry – the first time those nicely flexed knees meet spinning rotors and icy downwash, inevitably, two worlds collide.

A Gap Year in the Mountains (August 2015)

"It has been amazing to meet so many new people, to make friends with course mates and instructors, to feel part of a community, and to have links with people all over the world... Obviously, the course has helped me to ski like a God... If anyone else is considering a gap year on the slopes, I'd say definitely do it - it will be one of the best decisions you ever make." -Jasper Upton

GREY GAPPERS GET GOVERNMENT SUPPORT (JULY 2014)

"Ros Altmann, the government's new champion for older workers, backs extended 'gap' breaks for older workers as a way to renergise and refocus..."I took some some advice from Socrates who said 'a life unexamined is not worth living’,” said Paul Townsend, who decided to take a month and a half out for some soul-searching in the mountains of British Columbia. The IT manager was made redundant in 2012 and decided to take a gap break to consider what to do with his future while indulging his passion for skiing."

ELLE CANADA

POWDER PARADISE (JANUARY 2014)

"Ski a part of B.C. where talk of “champagne” is all about a perfect kind of SNOW."

NEW COURSE TO HONE YOUR POWDER SKILLS (OCTOBER 2013)

"Nonstop's new camps promise to get you to the heart of Fernie's backcountry and improve your technique. To access the best powder, it pays to venture deep into the backcountry – and to know how to make the most of it."

SNOW ACTION MAGAZINE

IT'S SAFARI TIME (FEBRUARY 2012)

"Sure, blundering around Africa blowing the crap out of exotic animals is not exactly kosher anymore, but any safari worthy of the name should still stand for big adventures and wild times. Bronwen Gora found plenty of both on Nonstop's powder-chasing itinerary through interior BC."

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

2012 GAP YEAR IDEAS (JULY 2012)

"The slopes of western Canada host Nonstop’s ski and snowboard instructor courses. There are also a limited number of season-long internships that combine a three-week course in Fernie, British Columbia, working towards a CASI Level 1 qualification, with enrolment for work at Fernie Alpine Resort’s Winter Sports School."

UK SNOWSPORTS INDUSTRY REPORT (MAY 2012)

We have been recognised in this highly respected industry report under "Who’s Innovating?"

"For hardcore, off-piste enthusiasts, British company Nonstop offers a Master the Mountain intensive six-week course in Western Canada, focusing on improving off-piste skiing and snowboarding skills. The course climaxes with four days of ‘splitboarding’ – using a split snowboard as a pair of large skis to hike up untouched and otherwise unreachable mountain faces, before slotting the halves together at the top in order to snowboard down."

POWDER SCHOOL (JUNE 2012)

In 2011 Whitelines Snowboard Magazine joined the fanale of our our 6 week "MTM" Off Piste Camp in Fernie and had an amazing time touring to some epic powder stashes.
