Gap Year Skiing & Snowboarding

ALLTRACKS is a Pround Member of The Year Out Group, an organisation representing established and financial secure Gap Year travel organisations. Membership is subject to rigorous checks of company proceedures and financial security.

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.

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 Canada

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.

Lyn Easton - Mother of Shaun

"Thank you so much for giving my son Shaun such a wonderful and positive experience. Everything that was promised was delivered and the times I needed to touch base with someone from Alltracks in Canada, it was never a problem. Someone would get right back to me and put my mind to rest in a very professional and efficient manner. This was my son's first big overseas trip out of Australia and thanks to you guys something he will remember forever."
