Steve and Karen have always been involved with sport in the UK. Karen has umpired netball at National level and coached youngsters in excellence for over 20 years and Steve has played and coached football at local level for over 30 years.
They embarked on their skiing careers rather late in life taking to the slopes in their late thirties. However, once bitten by the bug, they have worked within the ski industry ever since.
Our First forays
Their first venture was in providing catered accommodation in France as well as guiding visitors around the slopes of the Portes Du Soleil. Fun but not enough time on the slopes. So at the age of 48 Steve persuaded Karen they should become ski instructors. After an eleven week course in Canada they both passed their Canadian Level 2 qualification.
For the next few years they continued to manage the same instructor training programme helping to devise and implement improvements, but in 2009 Steve and Karen decided they had more to offer the instructor training industry and set up the Winter Sports Company.
Our aim is simple
Their aim is simple; to provide instructor training where the trainees get the best possible resort, training and accommodation in Canada at the best possible price. To ensure this they will personally look after the course.
They will be available 24/7 in resort and on the slopes every day for advice, friendship and fun.
