I loved every minute of my time in Fernie and it's opened my mind to life outside of a 9 to 5 existence! Heather Browne 11 Week Instructor Course, Fernie

Without doubt, the best experience of my life! No more needs to be said! Set me up to work as a ski instructor with the awesome snow school at Fernie Alpine Resort. Tom Bish 11 Week Intructor Course, Fernie

I had an absolutely brilliant time in Cervinia. The focussed course was just what I was after to improve my skiing. I would certainly recommend this course to other people and I plan to take this course again. Once again, Nonstop didn't disappoint. Andy Carridge 5 Day Early Season Improvement Camp, Cervinia
