What can I expect on my Ski Instructor Course?

You can expect to be invloved in a ski training program that will be a lot of fun, a lot of hard work and you will have a lot of challanges to over come. But in the end of the 5 weeks you will be a much better skier than you can ever imagine, with the skills and the knowledge to go out and work as ski instructor, or to ski with family and friends with a solid understanding of what makes good skiing.

You will be training on snow 3 days a week sometimes more, and then we will expect you to be practicing what you have learn't at least another two days a week. On top of that there will be video analysis session in the evenings and every week there will be at least one evening theory session indoors.
