#thenonstopcollective

A sociable camp in one of Canada’s most powder-heavy resorts, designed to transform your skiing ability. If you’re ready to boost your powder technique, gorge on some of Canada’s best terrain and connect with great people, then this is for you.

Set in the beautiful mountainscapes of Fernie, an area known for its feather-light snow, playful bowls and infectious outdoor culture, enjoy two weeks developing your all-mountain skiing prowess while smashing through boundaries in your riding. With 8-days of pro coaching from our seasoned instructors, our improver camps also feature an optional day of guided cat-skiing in a nearby powder zone, where you’ll test your skills floating through the deep stuff.

You’ll stay in our welcoming ski lodge and spend each day on the hill with our expert coaches, followed by social evenings with your crew soaking up Canadian culture. You’ll meet a great bunch of people who share your interest in skiing and by the end of the camp you’ll have made new friends for life. For solo travellers, small groups and couples, this camp is suited to intermediate to expert riders and dates are available through the season.

Youll love this course if: you’re ready to level up your skiing and ride increasingly challenging terrain; you want to experience life in an authentic Canadian mountain town; you’re up for meeting and skiing with a ready-made group of new friends.

Activities

Our camps are designed with more than just coaching in mind and the added extras are the icing on the cake. The highlight is a mega day cat-skiing in the backcountry where we’ll head away from the borders of a controlled ski area to bound through untouched pow. A modified snowcat will take you to wild peaks before you drop in to make smooth turns through pillow-soft snow, cementing the skills you’ve developed. They’ll also be weekly workshops and end-of-week après, plus your host will organise evening socials depending on the local calendar, with options such as curling or cheering on the local ice hockey team.

First Tracks

Experience first tracks on empty slopes, before the lifts open to the public.

Team Après

End-of-week team après to celebrate the week.

Curling

A Canadian pastime, learn to curl on local indoor ice.

DIY Ski Tuning Demo

Live demos and tips in tuning, edging and waxing techniques.
