Snow Trainers prepares and trains their students extremely well, and the New Zealand crew from the 2011 season at Coronet Peak were very successful in passing their NZSIA-SBINZ exams.  Snow Trainers helped this crew find jobs all over the world and four of them chose to work at Copper Mountain, Colorado as ski and snowboard instructors.  Congratulations team Snow Trainers!

It was a beautiful January day to start training with the ski and snowboard groups at Copper Mountain.  Snow Trainers have the advantage of living and training together over a significant period of time where the students can learn from their coaches and from each other.  The training is done in a manner that leads from one step to the next for three to four days in a row over several weeks or months.  This gives the students time to practice the skills on their "days off" and also read the training materials and prepare their study guides for the PSIA-AASI exam process.  Welcome to training!
