Gap Year Skiing & Snowboarding.

Taking a GAP Year can be one of the most rewarding times of your life. It often comes at a period during, or just after, full time education and it is a great opportunity to live in a totally different environment and to consider your future. It is a year that you can make your own and you are guaranteed to have some hugely positive experiences.

Thankfully, there are now countless Gap year opportunities available and whatever your interests or goals, there is bound to be something suitable. If doing a ski or snowboard instructor course with ALLTRACKS Academy isn’t for you, then there are other worthwhile options all over the world.

Whatever you decide to do, it is important that you do something constructive and you feel challenged by what you are doing. In our mind, lying on a beach in Thailand or Australia just isn’t going to give you the same long term satisfaction as learning how to become a ski or snowboard instructor in Whistler!

Nowadays more and more universities and employers recognise the benefits of an exciting and challenging Gap year. They expect to see candidates who have done something interesting and proved themselves in a different arena. On an ALLTRACKS Academy ski or snowboard instructor course you are sure to learn to ski or ride well, but you will also learn other valuable skills including:

• Leadership – by taking control of a group in the mountains
• Presentation skills - by conducting lessons
• Commitment - by completing a testing course

These so called “soft skills” are often just as important as exam results in the eyes of employers, and rightly so in our eyes.

WHY CHOOSE A GAP YEAR
WITH ALLTRACKS ACADEMY?

If you have narrowed what you want to do down to a ski or snowboard instructor course, why should you choose the ALLTRACKS Academy? You can read about all the benefits of our courses on the relevant page ( WHY ALLTRACKS? ) and when it comes to running Gap year courses we feel that we definitely have the edge. Please call us to have a chat to find out if Alltracks could be for you.

The ALLTRACKS Academy team is hugely experienced in working with young people - we have taught in schools, been responsible for soldiers in Iraq, led mountain expeditions and worked in hospitals - but we are still young enough to go out and have a good time too.

 We realise that skiing or snowboarding is not for everyone (well… Paul is trying very hard to understand this but he’s not quite there yet). In all seriousness, if you are not sure what you want to do, please feel free to get in touch and we will be more than happy to suggest plenty of other alternatives.
