testimonials

“I decided to go on an International Academy course as part of my gap year. I can definitely say this course exceeded all of my expectations and I’ve had more fun than I could’ve ever imagined with people I didn’t know before. Whistler is an amazing place and has some of the best skiing and snowboarding you will ever find anywhere.” Daniel Calvert, age 18, Whistler Blackcomb 2007

"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 also really friendly and professional. I will hopefully be using my qualifications in NZ this summer or in North America or Europe next winter". Robert Wilson, Whistler 2007

In one word, immense! I had the best three months of my life doing what I love every day in one of the world's most prestigious resorts. Everyone’s skiing improved in all aspects of the sport; on piste, in powder, steeps, moguls or in the park.” Toby Read, age 19, Whistler Blackcomb 2007
