Nonstop Snow Reviews 

My second nonstop course and it didnt let me down at all. Its less intense than the 11 Weeks in Banff ofc but i took it as the first training for my level 3 Certification! I enjoyed it very much with my instructor Jens and lots of laughs with my group. Hopefully one day id be able to also participate in this couirse but as an instructor to experience both sides :)

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Max was super helpful during the booking process, even put me in touch with the resort to help line up a job before I even set foot in Canada. 11 weeks has turned into 2 years and I'm all set to go back to Fernie next season.

I paid a little extra for the single room and the accommodation was great. The food at the Red Tree was great- no choice, you get what you get, but never a bad meal. The staff there were awesome, super friendly every day and a pleasure to be around. The reception team were always great to chat to and vert helpful if needed

Sean, James, Ryxer and Lexey were all great hosts and always on the ball. There was a range of extra activities, some better than others but definitely something for everyone.

Most importantly, the wealth of experience between all the instructors was amazing. I came in thinking I could ski and I've left realising I still have so much to learn. Despite the challenging season, the instructors made the best of the conditions we had and always with a smile on their faces. Every day was an improvement and the entire journey was awesome.

Lastly, the mountain itself is great. Not too big, not too small. Lift lines are reasonable and a new express lift has been announced to be ready for the 27/8 season.

If you're thinking about it, just do it. My only regret is that i didn't book 5 years ago

Honestly I had the time of my life, the teachers were amazing, the hosts, the town, all 3 mountains. I would do this every year if I could, they have so many awesome activities and everyone is super friendly. Special thank you to Kelsey, Marc and Pete!

The 11 week course was better than i could've ever imagined it been. The reps that we had on the course were fantastic and did a great job of organizing everything for us. The instructors were incredible not just for teaching skiing but the social side of the course as well. I would recommend this course to anybody. It will be one of the best experiences of your life.

The Nonstop team both in Fernie and globally created the most friendly and accommodating environment. My definition of the team is not limited to the immediate nonstop employees but also the instructors, hospitality staff and other personal who assist the nonstop programs and extracurriculars.
Even while the Nonstop team revamp their business, you can only commemorate the staff for creating the most nourishing environment for people from every aspect of life.
I researched many options to do a season skiing, Nonstop hands down provided the most wholesome experience and I’d choose it again every time.

On this course I made lots of new friends and found my partner in crime. my skiing improved immensely I passed my exams and had fun doing it coming from a background of competitive skiing at a high level I would highly recommend this course. I learned a lot from this course!

Absolutely fabulous experience with Nonstop in Cervinia. The resort is perfect for April skiing, we had the best group, and our trainers (especially Harry and Anna) went above and beyond. My skiing massively improved through the week and I can’t wait to book another Nonstop course.

An outstanding experience. Spent a week at Cervinia with a wonderful group of skiers all of whom wanted to learn and an excellent patient teacher (Anna) who knew exactly how to add just enough every day in new techniques so you improved without feeling lost or over loaded with jargon. Accommodation was cozy with hugely hospitable staff. Lot's of great meals and apres with the team. Highly highly recommend this crew.

The Non-Stop Cervinia Spring Technical Ski Camp – Bluebird skies,
Thigh-Burners, and the "B^2" Effect**
Just back from the Non-Stop (NS) Spring Technical Ski Camp in Cervinia (April 19–24), and it was a ski sojourn for the ages. We’re talking six days of relentless, open-to-close, high altitude skiing in a gigantic expanse of what is a spectacular locale. Whether you call it luck or a gift from Ullr, we hit the jackpot: five straight days of bluebird skies and crisp conditions on those massive glacier runs.
CAVEAT: In blizzard conditions, those expanses could make for pretty difficult whiteout ski conditions, as it’s just snow for miles, no real terrain features and the run width-spacing, the length & vertical are big by any standards.
**The Ski Instruction:**
A unique perk of the locale was watching the Swiss and French ESF instructor groups training nearby. It was like having a live-action textbook; everything our coach Ben B (the legendary B^2, or "Double BB") taught us was being demo-ed by an army of experts right in front of us. As a self-described "terminal intermediate" looking to rebuild my skills, I found Ben’s coaching to be spot-on—he’s quick on the uptake and delivers customized counsel that actually sticks. He’s among the elite ski maestros, turns out he’s also a ski mountaineer! We were privileged to have him coach and hang with us.
**The Logistics & Crew:**
The organization was top-notch. Max and the two Claires handled everything with patience and grace, and on-site, Jens ensured the logistics were airtight (even for the most "peculiar" requests). Non-Stop opened a 4th group so stragglers like this author could get a crack at this camp!
**The Food:**
Surprisingly, Cervinia was a bit of a culinary desert.‘Cretaz’ is a worthy-visit (the "hairy" skidoo commute is half the fun, get the venison, melts in your mouth, a touch lean on size though). Ben knew the on-mountain spots—‘Chalet Etoile’ (the Curry Shrimp Pasta hit the spot, even our most exacting compadre grabbed it on our 2nd visit after getting a taste on the first!) and ‘La Motta’ in Valtournenche.
**The Social Dynamic**
The daily group dinners Jens organized were a highlight—nothing beats post-ski endorphins for making new friends from all over. Post dinner there was the customary visit to the local watering hole, the Ymmeltrob, surprisingly good bar with an excellent selection of Whiskeys and Bourbons (had Eagle Rare, which is rare anywhere!), and bartenders served up some colorful Cervinian cocktail concoctions which found an appreciative audience amongst the campers! Nights went on into the wee hours for quite a few…
**The Stay:**
Hotel Miravidi was excellent. Spacious, wooded rooms with long balconies offering front-row seat to the glacial seracs hanging off the cliffs above. (And for the ‘no eggs’ at breakfast rumor: yes, they serve scrambled eggs!).
**Our Group:**
Our group of six was a laugh-riot and then some! Between the laughs echoing across the Aosta Valley, the thigh-burning long runs, the good natured staccato of perennial banter, there was the proverbial "finger" (it’s on tape), one felt rather youthful again.
Summarizing, If you’re looking to sharpen your technical skills in a world-class setting with a crew that knows how to run a tight ship, this is it. They are at it Non-Stop!

I’ve recently returned from the Non-stop Snow technical camp in Cervinia, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. I was looking for a week that would actually challenge my skiing rather than just being another holiday, and this hit the nail on the head.

The coaching was spot on. The instructor (Anna) was brilliant at breaking things down without overcomplicating them. We spent plenty of time on drills that felt relevant, and the video analysis was a real eye-opener—it’s much easier to fix a fault when you can actually see what your legs are doing.

I’ve come away feeling much more "solid" on my skis and far more aware of my technique. I feel like I've gained the skills to push myself to the next level.

I was lucky to be with a good bunch of people. We were all at a similar level, and there was a great sense of camaraderie—everyone was encouraging each other, and we had plenty of laughs along the way.

Even though we were there to work on our technique, it was still a brilliant laugh. The balance between focused coaching and enjoying the mountain was just right.

Cervinia was a fantastic shout for an April trip; the snow held up well and the scenery is hard to beat.

A massive thanks to the Non-stop team (especially Anna) for a top-tier week. If you’re a keen skier looking to iron out some issues and have a great time doing it, I’d highly recommend it.

Just got back from an all-mountain ski camp in France and I can't say enough good things about my experience. Everything was well organized and thought through. Groups were selected so you were with people of similar skill and with similar goals for the week. Meals were incredible and instruction was top notch (shout out to Pierro). Most of all, my confidence for steep/off piste lines has greatly improved. I wouldn't have dreamed of skiing a double black run prior to the course and now I don't even hesitate!

I recently returned from a month long "Master the Mountain" Snowboard trip with Nonstop and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

While it ended up being one of Fernie's worst seasons for snow in a long time, the whole Nonstop crew did their utmost to make it a hugely enjoyable experience.
Max and the Claires made the booking process and organisational side simple and pain-free and were quick to answer any queries I had.
Ryder, Lexey and James were excellent hosts in resort - always cheerful and always on hand to help with any issues, they made us all feel very welcome and helped organise extra activities for us like snowmobiling that made the trip even more memorable.
And a special shout-out to our coach Lucy H who made every day on the mountain with her special - she pushed us to improve our riding and managed to make even days with bad conditions still a ton of fun.

The MTM trip as a package is great value - the first 2 weeks were focused on improving our riding across the whole mountain while the second 2 weeks were focused more on backcountry skills and included splitboard and avalanche safety training before the crowning moment of the trip - the visit to the Boulder Hut (which is thrillingly accessed via helicopter).

Quick mention as well goes to the Red Tree Lodge itself - the staff there were all great and the food was top notch - missing those breakfasts already!

Anyway, I highly recommend Nonstop to anyone who loves snowboarding/skiing and I will certainly be booking onto another trip with them!

My brother and I attended a one week improver course at Banff AB. The entire experience was fantastic. The instructors were top notch and nonstop's admin folks were very well organized and took care of all the details. In addition to the great on snow instruction, the course was very social and we met fellow skiers from all over the US, Canada and the UK. We would definitely attend another nonstop course in Canada or Europe. We felt that the value of the course was excellent.

Nonstop takes care of all of the details. It made it such that I could just focus on my ski course and having fun. Wonderful instructors. Wonderful company. Will definitely use Nonstop again.

While the off piste guiding was excellent, there was only minimal instruction with the focus being the usual French “follow me”, so an enjoyable week but any learning or technical improvement was incidental.

Very happy to share more detail, contact me next week I’ll share all the details. Thanks.

What an amazing experience the 2 week “all mountain improvement course” at Fernie was!

The emails before the course even started were all so encouraging and thorough, the transfer arrangements were smooth and competent, and the hosts & staff at the Red Tree Lodge - as well as the Fernie Alpine Resort team - were hugely friendly and welcoming.

As for the Instructors - what an outstanding bunch! Highly trained, delivering well-paced and individually-adjusted instruction to small groups, very knowledgeable of their craft and of the mountain, and really focused on building a positive and supportive bond within each group - exceptional.

The “package” NonStop offer is just that - great accommodation and facilities, warm and comfortable rooms, plentiful and delicious food, super and generous hospitality, fabulous and varied skiing opportunities - and a real family feel to the whole experience in a lovely, authentic BC town.

So - 2 whole weeks with a team dedicated to helping you, in every way imaginable, to enjoy and improve at the sport you are passionate about! And 2 whole weeks with like-minded individuals of all ages and abilities, some of whom will become ski buddies for life - what’s not to love?!

Recently returned from my second Nonstop Adventure. Great coaches, super well organised and fantastic to do as a solo traveller - lots of like minded people.

Great people, great food, great skiing, great coaching. I'll be back!!

2 week master the mountain course in Fernie BC. exceptional experience! Well organized. Well supported. Instructor was excellent. My goals for the course were fully met. I thoroughly enjoyed the international clientele and breadth of interest and experience. I plan to return !

My 2nd time with non-stop was a blast. The coaching was a mixture of instructing and guiding. Each time my skiing has improved greatly. The instructors are experts on the mountain and we skied parts of the mountain I wouldn’t have considered. It’s a blast spending 2 weeks with like minded people. Already booked for 2027.
