Saas Fee
Welcome to Saas Fee! Saas Fee is a fantastic all year round resort. The village is circled by 13 4000 metre peaks and is known as the pearl of the Alps. We've got the best coaches to prepare you for your Level 1 exam. This is usually in Week 3 of the course, meaning you still have plenty of time to develop you skiing or snowboarding for your Level 2 exam. Included in the cost is a first aid course and avalanche awareness, ski/snowboard maintenance clinic.
Whistler Improver
Our 4 week course is perfect if you have limited time off work, if you would like to qualify and work in Canada in the same season or you would simply like to spend a month improving your skiing or riding. The pre-Christmas course allows you to qualify and then stay on to teach in Canada over Christmas and for the rest of the season (dependent on acquiring a work visa and job opportunities with the ski / board school). Alternatively, experience spring in Whistler on the March - April course, when the snow is still fantasic and the legendary Telus Festival is in full swing.
