How to Book

Booking a Nonstop course is simple but we appreciate it can be a big decision; whether you are booking a holiday to improve your technique, or committing to a longer course as part of a gap year or career break, we highly recommend having a chat with our course advisers so they can help you decide which course & resort is the best match for you.

HOW TO BOOK

You can book online – choose your course and select your preferred style of accommodation and any optional extras such as avalanche training or cat-skiing.

Each winter our courses sell out so if you’re not quite ready to commit but are worried about missing out you can ask us to hold a place.

Our booking terms & conditions can be found here.

WHEN TO BOOK

We've been operating since 2002 and our reputation and experience lead to our courses selling out every winter. As soon as you know this is something you want to experience we recommend you quit dreaming and do it!

It’s never too early to book and some people book years in advance. Four advantages of booking early are:

Secure your first choice of course, resort and accommodation options.
Secure the lowest price. Our costs increase each year and so course prices will too.
Take the stress out of arranging your travel, insurance and equipment.
Get it in the diary and start enjoying looking forward to it.

On our 1-3 week coaching camps we suggest booking as early as possible to be sure of securing your preferred accommodation. By October many options are no longer available.

waivers

in North America, signing a waiver agreement is a standard requirement for skiers wishing to buy a lift ticket or season pass, book an instructor, or book an activity such as cat skiing, snowmobiling or heli skiing. Likewise, signing our waiver and our supplier's waivers is a pre-condition to participate in our courses and for use of all RCR resort facilities, including, where applicable, without limitation Fernie Alpine Resort.

Before we accept your Booking Deposit or confirm your booking, we require you to complete RCR's (the owner of Fernie Alpine Resort) waiver form, a PDF copy of which can be viewed here: 2021.22 Release of Liability
