Whether you’re fuelling a gap year or kicking off an instructor career, this course is all about unlocking your potential. With coaching that rotates between resorts, you’ll chase the best snow and conditions while sharpening your skills across a huge variety of terrain. Expect to boost technique, grow confidence, and get fully prepared to nail your CSIA Level 1 and 2 — all while building the freeride instincts and all-mountain style that set great skiers apart. Once you land your Level 1, you’ll also have the chance to put your skills into action through our exclusive Assisted Teach program — delivering learn-to-ski sessions to the local community with support from Nonstop coaches. It’s a chance to experience the teaching side of skiing and bring the CSIA framework to life. Off the hill, Banff delivers the full package — national park views, wild landscapes, and a town that’s always up for a good time. And our MORE Program adds even more adventure — think road trips to places like Revelstoke, cat-skiing at an abandoned ski hill, night skiing at Norquay, and backcountry bonfires, with your host lining up weekly socials and events to keep the good times rolling. This is winter dialled up — big terrain, deep snow, and even deeper progression. Buckle up!
