The SnowSkool Big White Instructor Course has been a blast in every possible way! My ski improvement has been massive, I've meet a whole bunch of absolutely awesome people and basically had the time of my life! Moreover the course structure was excellent concerning meals, training and so on! So the only thing you had to focus on was: shredding POW, having fun and getting those instructor certifications ! Even if you're not british or aussie and your first language is massively different (like myself), this course is definitely worth every single month, day and hour! And you don't need to speak perfectly english to figure out that the "Bull Wheel Burger" is a freaking masterpiece ! So, if you like shredding awesome terrain and can find the time SnowSkool will definitely get the job done !

Best experience of my life, hands down. Made some friends for life, got out and explore an incredible mountain/resort everyday for 3 months, and turns out I can ski a bit now too! Recommended, HIGHLY!

Going to Banff with Snowskool was without a doubt the best 3 months of my life so far. Waking up everyday in such a beautiful place to do something you love couldn't be made easier. I met the most amazing people who will be friends for life and also gained my ski instructor qualifications. Snowskool delivered so much more than as expected, would recommend to anyone!

Greatest decision of my life to date! Honestly had the best three months of my life with Snowskool. Met the most amazing group of people and learnt skills that i will have for life. I could not think of a better thing to do if you want to become a ski instructor, Improve your riding or just have a sick 3 months in an amazing part of the world. Honestly if you are thinking about it, just do it!

nothing better than shreddin with your mates! snowskool was rad!

Picking Snowskool was hands down the best decision I could have ever made! As so many of us agree it has been the best 3 months of our lives! I have met the most amazing people and come home a qualified ski instructor! I couldn't have asked for more! Snowskool is an awesome gap programme to choose, and your guaranteed the time of your life for sure! For all you ski and snowboard lovers get signed up!!!!!

There was no doubt that I chose the right, when I chose SnowSkool. If you are looking to have the best 3 months of you life then choose then without doubt this is the company to go for! SnowSkool were everything they said they were.....and more! I chose the Banff coarse and have had no complaints throughout, not only the ski terrain but the area itself is incredible. And as for the people and friends that I have met along the way has made it for me, without doubt I have friends for life! So what are you waiting for?!?! Sign up! Yeeeeeeeew!

Choosing snowskool was the best decision I've made. I had the best 3 months I could of possibly had, met some amazing people and life long friends, as well as getting your ski instructing qualifications. Snowskool really were what they said and more! I would recommend it to anyone! Yeahhhh buddy!

What do I say? If you're keen to ski some of the most hectic terrain around and pick up a few badges too...Do this course. As a skier you get the opportunity to pick up CSIA Level 1 and 2, CSIA Park Certification, CSCF Race Coach and some avi training. Add this to the fact you get to live in Banff, it's an easy decision to make. If you take the SnowSkool plung take this one piece of advice: "Say yes to everything." Stop making excuses and do it!

If you are thinking about going with Snowskool on one of their instructor or improver courses DO IT! I had the best 3 months in my life. I met the most amazing people, skied the most amazing terrain and danced the most amazing shapes! Snowskool delivered so much more than they had promised and I cannot thank them enough for what they did. This is definitely one experience I will never forget, start to finish. YEEEWWW! Peace out.

Going to Banff with SnowSkool is easily the best decision I have ever made. They are such a brilliant company who delivered everything that was promised and more. I met the BEST people ever on this course and gained so much more than just ski instructing qualifications. So if you are even slightly considering going on one of SnowSkool’s courses I would say stop thinking about it and just do it! Because it’s a choice that you will not regret! From my experience the only way I can think to describe it is “LIVING THE DREAM” ☺ .

Where do I start ! From shreddin the mountain to meeting friends for a life time! Snowskool has helped me chase the DREAM! So get your game face on and book today ! YEW!

Without a doubt the best 3 months of my life! The reps were wicked, I made some of the best friends I'll ever had and have memories to last a lifetime! Had the greatest time in Banff with Snowskool and I'd recommend it to anyone!

SnowSkool is an awesome company! I loved my time in Banff, and the people I was with. If you are considering it then I would strongly suggest you go for it! It is a lot of fun and could be the best 3 months of your life! The reps are also pretty cool!

You've Been SnowSkool Framed

When it comes to creating great videos, we think you'll agree SnowSkool have produced some altogether wicked footage from our ski and snowboard instructor courses over the past couple of seasons.  But not as much, it seems, as one or two of our past students.  

Because of our innate, sick sense of humour we have had a sneaky trawl to see what we could find there away from our very own, naturally sensational SnowSkool You Tube Channel.  But if you are afraid of sheer filming professionalism and interesting/artistic camera angles, look away now.

This is You've Been 'SnowSkool' Framed....

Luke Allan - New Zealand 2008

 
Lot's of plane wing footage, sunshine close ups for that added 'blinded by the light' emphasis, nakedness (the things I have to watch for research!) and great tips too for any future SnowSkoolers. Nuggets like:
"Does it hurt when you fall?"
"Nah, just land on your a*se."
And not forgetting, the inciteful:
"Why are you watching this?  If I was you, I wouldn't be watching me."
Great fun footage, an interesting soundtrack and some bitching 'snowboard' guitar...

Adrian Gourlay (the very same SnowSkool legend) New Zealand 2007



You know when you want to ask someone to follow you around your home town with a huge ghetto blaster playing "Eye of the Tiger," everywhere you go?  We actually think this is like that... with helmet cam.  Because our very own Dunk just IS that cool.  End of.  And Belvedere Apartments never really rocked like this before.  We knew he was a keeper.

They Who Should Not Be Named - Big White 2007 
 

Some pre-shred workout tips from Diversity.  Not the famous dance troupe.. this is actual diversity.  Say no to booze guys.  Although, if your talking to your booze you may already be drunk.  And NEVER perform these moves in a SnowSkool hoodie.  Not cool.  You've been warned.

But we did find some pretty neat stuff that deserves an A for effort:
