CSIA LEVEL 1 SKI INSTRUCTOR

Join our 6 week course at Big White and train to become a ski instructor. Not everyone has 12 weeks to spare from their busy lifestyles, so we have prepared a shorter course which still results in an instructor certification. Turn up at this mountain with some ski skills and a few weeks down the line, leave a ski instructor. During the time you will learn what it is like to live the lifestyle ski instructors live season to season. Wake each morning to some of the best snow in the world, clip into your ski's and get out to train with some amazing pro's. Finish your day having a drink in one of the local bars with new found friends, or for the health concious amongst us nip to the gym to work of the lactic acid accumulated during the day. Whatever your choice Big White will deliver. The only prerequisite needed for this course is that you have skied for at least a couple of weeks.
