3 WEEK SNOWBOARD IMPROVEMENT COURSES
PICTURE THIS... You're standing at the top of an untouched tree run with fresh powder up to your knees. The sun is shining and the trees around you are heavily laden with fresh snow... How will you fare?
OVERVIEW
After intensive riding and instruction with some of Canada's best snowboard coaches you’ll be confidently tackling conditions you might previously have avoided. If you’re searching for a snowboard holiday where you can really progress your riding in a fun, laid back and sociable environment, then our snowboard camps are for you. Fernie has one of the highest annual snowfalls in the world and was rated "Best North American Resort" by the Good Ski & Snowboard Guide.
COACHING
"My off-piste technique improved no end and the instructors gave 110%. A great 3-weeks, highly recommended."
Daniel Rumble, 29. 2-Week, Fernie
We have developed one of Canada’s leading teams of snowboard instructors with some of the industry’s most experienced coaches on hand to help you develop your riding and show you the best that Fernie has to offer. You will receive a total of 20 hours of coaching each week (five hours per day, four days per week). The coaching concentrates on developing your all-mountain skills so you’ll be taught on and off piste, through tree runs, in the park and in the powder.
We use regular video sessions to help you quickly correct your technique and over beers at the end of the day your coach will provide helpful analysis and feedback.
CAT BOARDING
One of the highlights of the snowboard camp is a day cat-boarding. Similar to heli-boarding, but travelling up hill in ‘snow cats/piste bashers’, cat-boarding is the ultimate powder experience but at half the cost of heli-boarding. You’ll get about 8-9 runs in through the day and the trips up in the cat offer welcome rest breaks and a chance to share stories with your powder companions! This experience provides the perfect opportunity to test your newly developed skills in the untracked powder of the Fernie backcountry. (Although unadvised, if you are on a tighter budget you can forfeit the cat-boarding experience and save £150 off the course price).
MOUNTAIN SAFETY TRAINING
In addition to your on-snow coaching we teach essential backcountry techniques including safe off-piste travel, avalanche awareness and search and rescue techniques. This optional one day course is an additional £40 and includes some indoor theory as well as tuition in the backcountry digging snow pits and becoming familiar with safety equipment.
SNOWBOARD MAINTENANCE
A comprehensive evening session covering board design and construction plus tuning and maintenance techniques including base preparation, edge sharpening and waxing.
NEW YEAR'S EVE
New Year's Eve in the mountains is always fun and we'll arrange a party starting with a special dinner before enjoying live music, dancing and celebrations to bring in the New Year.
FERNIE
"North America's Coolest Town" - Rolling Stone Magazine
Fernie is renowned for some of the best powder conditions in the world, empty pistes and its friendly laid-back atmosphere. Fernie is a strong contrast to the busier mega resorts and offers a truly refreshing winter holiday experience.
ACCOMMODATION & MEALS
In 2007 we purchased the Red Tree Lodge and completed a $1.3 million renovation to make this ‘the place to stay in Fernie’. The lodge offers a relaxed and comfortable place to rest your weary legs after a hard days skiing. Most rooms are twin rooms (two double/queen beds) but we also have a limited number of triple and quad rooms as well. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and stunning mountain views. Facilities include: indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and much more. To find out about our lodge please:
For those wanting a more independent experience we offer the chance to live in a house in downtown Fernie just a few minutes walk from the bars and shops on the main street and from the NONSTOP lodge. Living in a house will allow more space, privacy and self-sufficiency than living in the lodge. Those living in houses will still be able to enjoy and use all the facilities at the lodge. Each house sleeps between 4 and 8 people and has a comfortably furnished sitting room (with TV, DVD player and stereo), dining area and fully equipped kitchen. Most people share twin rooms although there are a limited amount of single rooms, offered on a ‘first come, first served' basis for an additional charge. Our top chefs provide weekday breakfasts and dinners that are served at the Red Tree Lodge. Our breakfasts are extremely popular with a vast array of continental style treats, with freshly baked muffins, breads, cereals and fresh fruit. Our suppers are healthy and filling, with 3 delicious courses designed to rejuvenate all those tired muscles. The NONSTOP shuttle bus will pick you up from the lodge after breakfast to take you to the mountain for another day on the slopes. At the end of the day it will be there to pick you up from the bottom of the lifts and take you home.
FLIGHTS
Our package includes flights from the UK to Calgary with Air Canada. A UK member of staff will be on hand at Heathrow to see you off. You’ll then be welcomed into Canada by a course director, before taking the transfer bus to Fernie. We can arrange alternative flight dates for those who are staying in Canada before and/or after their course. Normally there is no additional charge for this, but please check with us for further details. In the unlikely event that direct flights are unavailable we will inform you of this and then look to book indirect flights instead. It is worth noting that the earlier you book your course the more likely we can secure a direct flight.
