11 week
Whistler Ski Instructor Course
Whistler is renowned as one of the biggest and best ski resorts in the world. Day and night, it’s an action-packed hive of fun and adventure. Combine such a legendary resort with the leading ski instructor course of all time and you’re sure to have the season of your life!
At Nonstop we’ve been running 11 week ski instructor courses since 2002, and we’ve refined a programme that will see you massively improving your technique as a skier and instructor, as well as enjoying everything else that western Canada has to offer.
First class training. Over the course of the season, you’ll spend over 220 hours with your instructors, developing your ski technique and learning the skills you need to pass those techniques on to other people. We have selected the very best instructors to ensure that you get the most out of your time on the slopes, whilst having a lot of fun in the process!
Becoming a ski instructor. As well as enjoying this sensational ski area, you’ll be working towards your CSIA ski instructor qualifications. You’ll spend the first five weeks getting up to Level 1 standard, with the rest of the course dedicated to the far more advanced Level 2. With these two qualifications under your belt, you’ll be fully prepared for the global ski instructor industry, and you’ll be able to tear up any slope that crosses your path!
Whistler has an hourly lift capacity of 61,407 skiers! This resort has an enormous skiable area and an amazing infrastructure!
Making the most of Whistler. This isn’t just any ski instructor course, our local host will make sure that you get the most out of living in the mountains. With our unique “Activity Credits” scheme, you’ll be able to take part in a whole range of excursions and experiences that really will make your season special. You’ll have the opportunity to go backcountry touring or spend a day cat-skiing. And, if you fancy something a little different, you could try dog-sledding, snowmobiling or bungee jumping.
Sensational accommodation We want you to make Whistler your home (for the season at least!) and our accommodation in the Coast Blackcomb Suites is perfect for that. It’s without doubt the best course accommodation available in Whistler, with two-bedroom apartments, each with a fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area. Plus there’s a gym, swimming pool and two outdoor hot tubs, and to put icing on the cake, the apartments are ski-in ski-out!
