What's included
This 11 week course includes a training program designed by Level 4 instructors and evaluators. It includes 20 hours of training per week given by experienced Level 3 & 4 instructors.
Ski School shadowing is introduced as you progress through the course. It will start after the completion of your Level 1 and is scheduled into the Christmas holidays when the ski school is at it’s busiest.
A Season long lift pass means if you want to come out early, or extend your stay then your lift pass will be valid. You also get extra discounts around the resort and reciprocal deals at other resorts.
Sometimes overlooked but one of the most important parts of your stay. Reps are knowledgeable and experienced skiers and boarders, often having completed their instructor tickets previously. They support you all the way, making sure everything runs smoothly in resort.
The level 1 (& level 2) exam and membership are included in the price.
A total of 6 extra days of training and examinations with the CSIA Level 4 conductor.

4 Breakfasts and dinners are provided every week of your stay. Using 3-4 different restaurants within the resort, they provide a varied range keeping you fuelled up.
Nope!! There’s no need as Sun Peaks is all ski in-ski out. No need for a shuttle, you just use your skis!!
