All Mountain Snowboard ImprovementFernie, Canada - 4 Weeks

Fernie boasts the largest ski area and the longest vertical in the Canadian Rockies. It is well known for its light fluffy powder and consistently great conditions.

Partner that with exhilarating freeride terrain and there is no doubt that this is a dream destination for any snowboarder.

As well as an epic mountain resort, downtown Fernie is an awesome old Canadian mining town, with a relaxed and friendly vibe. There are numerous bars, shops and restaurants to keep you entertained for the duration of your stay

It's very hard to really improve your skills and progress when you only ride for a week at a time. You find you will spend a lot of that week getting your stamina and technique back, then by the time you begin to really improve it's time to go home again!

With focussed coaching over a whole month, you will push through boundaries that have previously stood in your way & make lifelong gains to your riding. 

We are experts at pushing snowboarders to new heights, and we can't wait to show you how to enjoy your newly improved skills! Our coaches love to guide you around their favourite spots on the hill - yes they do have the world's best job! One of your lessons will even start with 'First Tracks', getting the lifts with your group before they are open to the public so you can dive into the powder before anyone else.

Confident riding on pistes but dream of powering through powder? Our coaches will refine your technique and build your confidence before taking you to more testing terrain taking your riding to new levels.

Similarly the course is designed for snowboarders with off-piste experience that want to ramp it up a notch. Renowned for challenging terrain, steep slopes and deep snow, Fernie is the perfect environment to further develop your off-piste riding.

You’ll be grouped with riders who are of a similar ability and share similar goals. This creates the best coaching environment; progressing together and taking on terrain that pushes everyone.

To ensure that we can deliver multiple snowboard groups catering to different experience levels the 4-week packages are achieved by combining back-to-back 2-week camps. This works really well to ensure there is always a great social experience as well as well-matched ability groups.

Inject more fun, adventure, and learning into your time:

• First tracks: Ride the lifts with your pro: your own private mountain before sunrise.

• Avalanche course: Gain insight into safe off-piste travel, avalanche types and formation, snow stability tests, and search & rescue techniques.

• Cat boarding: Like heli boarding, but great value. Snowboard un-tracked powder, with a piste basher taking you to the top. Possibly the highlight of your year.

Our own hotel, the Red Tree Lodge, acts as the official hub of the course. When the Red Tree gets fully booked we accommodate people at the nearby Best Western; it’s a 5 minute walk away. This causes the overall cost to be more expensive due to the Best Western’s higher rates – so booking early is recommended!

There is the choice of shared or private rooms - regardless of whether you are travelling alone.  Rooms are spacious with queen sized beds, en suite bathrooms and widescreen TVs. Breakfats will be served at your hotel & inclusive evening meals are served at the Smokehouse, on site at the Red Tree Lodge. There are plenty more bars, restaurants and shops within a short walk.

Each morning we'll take you on a short bus ride to the mountain, where your snowboard is stored overnight, ready for an epic day on the slopes!
