The Dream in Canada

Are you ready to snowboard harder, stronger, better and faster? Good. We are confident Draft Punk would approve. That’s why Snowminds offers you our Level 2 CSIA snowboard instructor course, where you now have the opportunity to shred like like a pro and receive two instructor educations within a single winter season. When combined with our 3 week snowboard instructor course in Canada, you can now quickly go from a beginner to a highly-competent snowboard instructor with advanced certification on your very first winter season abroad. This is your perfect chance to double-down and level-up! 

Training during the season

Due to high demand, you can now become a CSIA Level 2 snowboard instructor half-way through your very first season in Canada. For maximum convenience, the training program takes place at your ski school destination, where you will receive a 7-day technical training course in January with our most highly-competent instructors we know and trust.

Over 2 weeks (11-day course) of personalized instruction, you can expect significant individual feedback on your snowboard technique and style. With such constructive feedback and intense training, we have watched our instructors’ technique and abilities soar. The training course culminates with the 4-day Canadian Level 2 CSIA Exam in February, where you will be crush in your sleep. With a new advanced CSIA Level 2 certification in hand, our Snowminds team will help you take advantage of many exciting job opportunities for highly-competent snowboard instructors around the world.
