Rockies Improver Ski CampBanff, Canada - 1 Week

Three resorts. Expert coaching. One unforgettable week. Join us in the heart of the Canadian Rockies for a week-long ski experience focussed on building confidence, improving control, and exploring more of the mountain — all while riding three of the region’s most iconic resorts: Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Mount Norquay.

Throughout the week, you’ll be guided by expert local coaches who know these mountains inside out. Each day is crafted to help you progress across a variety of conditions — from cruisy groomers and mellow off-piste to steeper slopes and powder bowls. We’ll tailor the week to the best conditions each day, giving you the chance to ski more terrain, more vertical, and experience more variety. With small groups and personalised instruction, you’ll develop stronger technique, better control, and the confidence to take on more challenging terrain — all at your own pace.

Your base for the week is Banff — a lively, welcoming mountain town where culture and adventure collide. After each day on the hill, you’ll have time to relax in the famous Banff Hot Springs, catch a local hockey game, or grab dinner and drinks with the crew in town. It’s not just a camp — it’s a full Rockies experience.

Whether you’re returning to skiing after a break, stepping beyond groomed runs, or simply looking to feel more confident and fluid across the mountain, this camp gives you the coaching, terrain, and support to make real progress — and have a mega time doing it. This camp is best suited to strong intermediate skiers and above.

Our base for this camp is the iconic mountain town of Banff, nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. From here, we’ll explore three of the region’s top resorts — Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Mount Norquay — collectively known as the Big 3. Between each, there’s powder, steeps, trees and glades, with spectacular views everywhere you turn. The aim is to ski all three resorts, but we’ll stay flexible, letting conditions and group appetite guide us. If we catch wind of better snow or weather elsewhere, we’ll chase it.

Sunshine Village          

The highest of Banff’s resorts, Sunshine Village offers sprawling terrain and is renowned for its deep snow, averaging 30 feet each winter. It’s home to legendary tree-skiing, playful zones, and off-piste face Delirium Dive.

Lake Louise                 

As the largest of the Banff trio, Lake Louise boasts 4,200 acres of terrain spread across four faces. Expect a blend of long, top-to-bottom runs, wide open bowls, and technical glades.

Mount Norquay           

The closest resort to Banff, Mount Norquay is a local gem with a variety of terrain from groomers and tree-lined trails to steeps and bumps. On a powder day, without the crowds, Norquay is unbeatable.

This Rockies Improver Camp is an action-packed week of all-mountain coaching and guiding, designed to help you unlock your potential on the slopes. Skiing with expert local coaches and a small group of riders, you'll tackle a plethora of terrain across three of the best resorts in the Rockies — Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Norquay.

Sessions         

There will be five coaching sessions through the week. Each is a full day of skiing, with a focus on progressing your skills through different terrains, whatever your group is suited to – think trees, groomers, powder, chutes and steeps. We’ll be led by the conditions of the day, aiming to ride as much vertical as possible.

Goals              

The goal is to guide you through the best of the Rockies, while enhancing your all-mountain capabilities. Whether you're skiing wide-open slopes, navigating trees, or tackling more technical terrain, you’ll make noticeable improvements and gain the skills to ski confidently in all conditions.

Groups            

This camp is tailored to intermediate through to expert skiers. Groups are formed based on ability and outlook, ensuring you ski with others at a similar level. With six skiers per coach, you'll receive plenty of personalised feedback, while also enjoying the camaraderie and social energy of a small group.

Coaches         

Your Nonstop coach is a local expert, with extensive knowledge of each resort. They’ll help you navigate the mountain, offering tips, tactics, and insights to enhance your skiing, as well as sharing the ‘locals only’ spots.

This camp is about more than just coaching — it's about immersing yourself in the Rockies. As the week unfolds, we’ll bring the group together for evening socials. This could be unwinding in the Banff hot springs or cheering on a local hockey team, depending on the local calendar. It’s all about the balance — exploring epic terrain by day and soaking in the culture and camaraderie by night.

Ideally located in the heart of Banff, you’ll stay in the Mount Royal Hotel. Just steps from the town’s best shops, restaurants, and après-ski spots, it’s the ideal base for this camp. Relax in spacious rooms with stunning mountain views and enjoy amenities like a rooftop hot tub. You have a choice of private or twin-share rooms, depending on budget and preference.

Daily breakfasts are served at the hotel to kickstart your day. We also host Welcome and Farewell Dinners at handpicked local spots — perfect social occasions to bookend the camp with delicious food and good company. Your other evenings are left free for you to explore Banff’s varied culinary scene. Your host can provide restaurant recommendations and make group bookings for those wanting to dine together. It’s the perfect time to unwind, share stories, and bond with your crew after action-packed days on the slopes.
