If you want to further your skills as a ski instructor and move up from your Level 2 qualification to become fully certified then this is the course for you. Spend 12 weeks in Colorado, the USA and train towards being internationally recognized as a FULLY CERTIFIED ski instructor – and do it while skiing Colorado’s famous deep dry powder! Unique to Snow Trainers is the opportunity to shadow our Level 1 and 2 instructor training.

Plus, if you are a USA citizen or have a work visa you may also be able to work for the Copper Ski and Ride School. If you are able to follow this path, you can leave with more qualifications, experience, a reference from one of the best schools in the country, and hopefully some money in your pocket too!!

An amazing winter experience

Our goal is to make sure you have a fun, rewarding, and memorable experience while training in Colorado. We chose Copper Mountain for our USA courses because it has an average snowfall of 282 in / 710 cm, 22 lifts and 2,450 acres/985 hectares of terrain to play on you are sure to have an amazing time. Right by Copper is Woodward, a one-of-a-kind indoor freestyle training facility. You will have the option of an add-on pass so you can practice your moves on a trampoline into the foam pit before you take it to the park. Once back on the mountain you will find air-bag jumps in the park so you can make sure you have everything 100% perfected before you try it onto a real snow landing.
