Insurance
Having the right travel and snowsports insurance is essential for your trip — make sure you’re fully covered. You are responsible for purchasing a policy that suits your needs. Be sure to read the policy wording carefully to confirm it includes everything required for your course and travel plans.
If you’re travelling from overseas, you’ll need comprehensive travel insurance that includes winter sports. If you’re based in North America, look for a policy that covers trip curtailment, loss or theft of valuables, and medical expenses.
For our 2-week camps or shorter, a solid winter sports package is usually sufficient. Just double-check the details — some winter sports add-ons only cover a limited number of days on snow. If you’re planning activities like cat-skiing or -boarding, make sure those are included too. If you’ll be skiing or snowboarding for more than 2 weeks, your options may be more limited. Providers like Ski Club GB offer specialist cover that’s worth exploring.
We’ve put together an Insurance Guide to help you find the right cover. Once you’ve arranged your insurance, please email a copy of your policy to snowsupport@nonstopsnow.com so we can keep it on file in case of emergency.

Equipment
Packing for life in the mountains can feel overwhelming — especially when you want to be prepared without overloading your luggage. But don’t worry — we’re here to help. And once you arrive, you’ll quickly figure out what works best to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable, both on the slopes and around town.
To help you get started, we’ve put together a full gear checklist with practical tips in our Equipment Guide — plus a snapshot of the essentials below, whether you’re bringing your own kit or planning to buy in resort.
Rentals
If you would like to rent, check out the following places:
Quest: The Quest Ski Shop and Rentals | Performance Skis | Fernie, BC, Canada
Fernie Alpine Resort : Ski Rentals – Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie Alpine Resort has less premium options but does good deals and is right as the base of the ski hill so is very convenient for pick up, drop off and adjustments. Quest stocks more premium kit. It’s near to the ski hill base and will require a little bit of a trek across the ski hill to collect / drop off.
Please note, there are other places in town that offer ski rentals but you won’t have time to get into town before lessons on the Sunday morning. For this reason we would highly, highly recommend opting for Fernie Alpine Resort or Quest
