AllTracks Academy offers career-break ski instructor courses for stressed city workers

AllTracks Academy, a ski school in Whistler Blackcomb, Canada are offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn to become a ski instructor from one of Canada’s top 5 ski instructors at one of the worlds best year-round ski destination resorts in an idyllic setting.

An ONS study (Commuting and Personal Well-Being Report) has found that long commutes negatively impact well-being to the point that having a higher income or better house does not compensate for the commuter-anxiety experienced.

AllTracks Academy courses have been designed for every level of skill from beginners through to experienced skiers who can train as ski instructors. Courses offered include snowboard, ski instructor, ski improvement and off-piste.

Guy Hetherington, a Director of AllTracks Academy commented on the ski instructor training program, "Ski instructor trainees learn so many skills in a short space of time. Life on the piste is a positive and unforgettable experience that AllTracks Academy have spent years tailoring to suit the lifestyle needs of the stressed city worker looking for a well-earned break. Trainees enjoy the thrill of off-piste skiing in this great destination. Our expert team support trainees along the way, and everyone has fun in the process."

The duration of the ski instructor courses range from 2-weeks for ski improvement up to 11-weeks for a full ski instructor course. AllTracks Academy chalets and condos are centrally located with the option of being catered and self-catered.

Guy goes on to say; "AllTracks Academy offers more than learning to become a ski instructor, we give career-breakers an unforgettable Canadian experience by running tours of the beautiful backcountry, and taking them to experience the world’s most sought after slopes."

"Leaving behind the lonely commuter lifestyle has been a life changing experience for many members of the AllTracks Academy. The cornerstone of the AllTracks Academy village lifestyle is making lifelong friends. In the comfortable accommodation, Academy members are grouped by age and similar interests, so members can socialise with likeminded individuals who share a passion for skiing."

Escaping the stressful and hectic city lifestyle is no longer a dream reserved for the brave, as AllTracks Academy offer a stress-free healthy lifestyle that many city-workers crave. Taking a breath of fresh air on the slopes whilst focusing on developing skills as a skier is an unforgettably mindful experience.

AllTracks Academy’s ski and snowboard courses ranging from 2 weeks through to 11 weeks are taught in groups no larger than 6 people. The ski courses are taught by a team of CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance) & CASI (Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors) instructors. The 11 week Instructor course includes mountain skiing. The time is split by 50% on-piste and 50% off-piste. Instructors will receive AST 1 Avalanche Skills and CSIA L1 qualifications.
