If a beer company was allowed to design an instructor course…they would base it on the SnowSkool fourteen-week Banff snowboard instructor course - the most popular of the most popular of the most popular! SnowSkool has been operating snowboard instructor courses in Banff since 2004 and we employ many of the same snowboard instructors today that we did all those years ago. Why mess with success, huh?!?
All snowboard instructors assigned to teach the SnowSkool snowboard instructor course are either seasoned CASI Level 3 or Level 4 snowboard instructors. And, given you will spend 25 hours per week under their supervision, we are confident of maintaining our 100% pass rate for the CASI Level 1 snowboard instructor qualification.
Although you will spend most of your time snowboarding, students of the Banff snowboard instructor course will soon learn there is even more fun to be had after ripping up the slopes. Banff is the ideal location for a SnowSkool snowboard instructor course and SnowSkool posts a number of reps in Banff to ensure all students make the most of their time in Banff. Off-slope activities include trips to the hot springs, basketball and football tournaments, jam sessions in the on-site pub, fancy dress parties, ice-hockey matches, quiz nights, bingo nights DVD nights, ice-climbing, bar crawls, 10-pin bowling, casino nights and much, much more.
