Peakleaders Ski & Snowboard instructor courses

Peak Leaders offer ski & snowboard instructor courses in world class resorts across the globe including Canada, Europe, Argentina & New Zealand...

New Zealand

Winter in Queenstown is one long party that kicks off with the opening of Coronet Peak ski resort. Queenstown is the "adventure capital of the world": you can bungee jump, heli-ski, sky-dive, luge, horse-ride, ice-skate, jet boat - and of course ski and ride till you drop! The list goes on and on. With time off, everyone scrambles to all these activities whenever they can.

Argentina

Buenos Dias! Peakleaders in Argentina offer more qualifications, certifications and included extras than ANY other instructor course. This is one of our favourites and with good reason. Your Argentina course offers a unique opportunity in August and September to become a BASI (British Association of Snowsport Instructors) ski or snowboard instructor in the spectacular Andes of South America. You\\\'ll be amongst some of the nicest people on the planet and thanks to coaching from Argentina\\\'s and BASI\\\'s finest instructors and examiners, your technique and all-mountain skills will dramatically improve.

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.

St Anton

The mountains of the Austrian Tyrol have some of the finest skiing and snowboarding in the world. Peak Leaders have teamed up with the Arlberg Ski School in St Anton to deliver a 4 week, pre-Christmas course taking you to Austrian Ski Instructor level 1.

Verbier

Welcome to Verbier! Verbier is one of the most famous resorts in Europe and is a mecca for off piste riding, attracting everyone from pro atheletes to A-List celebrities! Verbier is part of the 4 Valleys ski area which includes Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, Thyon and Verbier.

Banff

Reputed for it's champagne powder and lively nightlife, Banff offers the best of both worlds. With some of the most adventurous in-bounds freeride in the world and some of the most qualified and competent ski instructors in Canada, our primary training ground, Sunshine Village Ski Resort, will have you ripping up the mountain with the best of them. Combine this with the luxuries of quality hotel accommodation, downtown restaurant meals 5 nights a week included, and several other spectactular ski resorts within easy striking distance, and you're set for the time of your life.

Whistler

Welcome to Whistler! This is the world's most famous resort and for good reason. The mountain offers some of the best skiing and riding in the world with huge snowfalls on every kind of terrain that you could imagine. Whistler Village is right at the bottom of the slopes, (very unusual for Canada), meaning that everything you need for the season is right on your door step.

Zermatt

Zermatt - the best European ski resort in "Where to Ski & Snowboard 05." Zermatt has an unbeatable combination of scenery, extensive high snow-sure slopes and wonderful mountain restaurants. The Zermatt course has been endorsed by BASI and the local official ski school to help create a pool of instructors for future employment in Switzerland. Ralph Schmidhalter, ski school manager, selects his top instructors to coach Peakleaders' trainees.

Japan

Sparkly silver birch trees....pillows of snow...endless powder... sounds like an imaginary land? Thankfully it's not - it's JAPAN! Myoko is no exception with its vast area incorporating 9 resorts. Look forward to the wonderful warm welcome from the lifties (seat brushed before you sit down every time, a bow when you get off at the top!) to the noodle bar at lunchtime. While cutting through the Myoko powder you'll see the Sea of Japan in the distance - spectacular.
