Red Mountain Snowboard Instructor Course

Red Mountain is THE hidden gem of Canada’s ski resorts. Being a fair distance from major airports, very few people go there on holiday, so the slopes are very quiet with little or no lift queues. It’s virtually Nonstop’s own mountain playground! You’ll have an amazingly authentic Canadian experience, as you settle in to Red Mountain and nearby Rossland, a stunning western-style relic of Canada’s gold rush. With plush slope-side accommodation included, it's hard to believe that this is the cheapest 11 week course we run.

The ultimate in steep and deep. Red Mountain’s snow record is massive, which means its steep, challenging slopes stay fresh, with stashes of powder around every corner. Although the piste map looks small – riding piste is only used for transport in Red – the real riding is done on the epic expanse of ungroomed terrain. This is the classic steep and deep resort that will continue challenging you for the whole season and beyond!

Becoming a snowboard instructor in Red. The challenging nature of Red Mountain’s terrain will make your learning curve steep, but our team of high level snowboard instructors will have you riding like a pro in no time. They’ll also teach you how to instruct, in preparation for your CASI Level 1 and 2 qualifications. Having these qualifications under your belt from such a challenging resort will look amazing on your CV.

The alternative to instructing. Many people come to Red on our 11 week course simply to progress, ride and have fun. We’ll give you the option after your Level 1 course to join our “AMP” programme instead of working towards your Level 2. With AMP, you’ll still have structure to the rest of your course, with goals to achieve, but you just won’t have to worry about any of the instructor training.

An inspirational leader. We are honoured to have Mark Impey as our Course Director in Red Mountain. He is one of the most highly respected and experience instructors in Canada. He’s a Level 4 examiner and has been to the very top of the CSIA. With his experience, guidance and support, you’ll have an amazing opportunity to kick-start a career in the snowsports industry... and if that’s not in your plans, he’ll just show you how to make the most of this amazing ski area!

Experience the excitement of mountain life. With Red Mountain and the nearby town of Rossland as your base, you’ll experience a really authentic Canadian Mountain lifestyle. Above and beyond that, we’ll organise a broad range of activities, that you can take part in as part of our “Activity Credit Scheme”. You’ll have a starting balance of 25 credits that you can spend on anything from cat-boarding to winter camping. Check out a full list of activities below.

The ultimate accommodation. Our accommodation in Red Mountain couldn’t be better. Forget hostels and hotels – we’ll put you up in plush new condos, right at the base of the ski hill, a stone’s throw from the lifts. Each condo has its own modern fully-fitted kitchen, spacious living and dining room, as well as a hot tub! Plus, there’s also a gym on site.
