"After 8 years in Engineering I decided to change career and train to be an Instructor, and after selling my house and car, I booked the International Academy course in Whistler after finding it on the internet. I expected to make some new friends, have fun skiing, learn new skills, and leave with some qualifications. The course surpassed all expectations. I’ve made some life long friends from so many different backgrounds.

The skiing is the best in the world and Whistler Blackcomb resort is massive. The instructors are all really friendly and professional. The Crystal staff and Chalet facilities are great. Whilst here I’ve completed an avalanche awareness course, first aid course, Level 1 ski instructor course and been heli-skiing, all of which I’d do again without hesitation. I will hopefully be using my qualifications in NZ this summer or in North America or Europe next winter".
