Welcome to Snow Challenge

Everybody associated with a Snow Challenge programme has a great passion for the industry and with combined decades of knowledge and experience you can rest assured our courses provide trainees with an unrivalled experience of Western Canada. You’ll be trained to a very high standard of instruction in a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere, with as much excitement and adventure as you can handle.

As a graduate from a Snow Challenge programme you’ll be recognised as having the skills and knowledge to be an asset to any ski school and upon completion of the course you will have access to the best careers placement service in the industry.

We don’t forget about you and will continue to give help and support from course completion to your first day at work. This includes visa applications, social insurance number collection and assistance with accommodation. We realise that for some the course completion was just the beginning and we are the only course provider that gives this sort of follow-on support.

Ski and Snowboard Instructor Courses.
These Ski and Snowboard courses are designed for those who want to improve their skiing and riding, become certified instructors, gain a broad knowledge of the snow sports environment and have a great time doing it.

Ski Patrol Course.
This unique and groundbreaking ski patrol course is fully certified and will enable its successful candidates to gain employment in ski patrols across Canada and the world. It's an intense course with a huge amount of training and places are restricted to facilitate great client/instructor ratios.

When it comes to finding first-class ski instructor training, you first need to examine your goals. If you’re driven to qualify as an exceptional instructor or patroller and intent on securing a job at a Canadian resort, Snow Challenge is for you. You’ll be mentored by our inimitable resort staff. Like you, they’ve been trained to a minimum Level Two standard. In addition, they’ve worked for at least two years in the industry, so they know how to prepare you for what’s ahead down the road (and slopes). How good is our instructor training? Not long ago, Snow Challenge was requested to run a course by “the best ski and snowboard school in Canada” (as voted by Ski Canada Magazine). The school could have selected any course provider they wanted and we were chosen as their exclusive operator. If you‘re serious about your goals, Snow Challenge is seriously interested in you.
