Why Alltracks

1. PASSIONATE & PROFESSIONAL TEAM

ALLTRACKS Academy was set up by people passionate about skiing, snowboarding and life in the mountains. We want to share this with every single person who comes on a course with us. We have a team that will be there throughout the booking process, in resort for your course and available to aid you with securing your dream job as an instructor upon completion of your programme if that is what you are looking for. The team we have is led by Level 4 examiners dedicated to providing expert training. Despite offering some of the most popular courses in the market, the fact that we remain a family run business enables us to provide a level of service and attention to detail often lacking in larger organisations. However, our experience and the fact that we offer unquestioned financial security enables us to punch above our weight and offer all the advantages of a larger company.

2. WORLD CLASS RESORTS

Whistler & Val d’Isere are widely regarded to be amongst the very best resorts in the world. They both benefit from huge, diverse areas, very reliable snowfall and vibrant villages. When you are on an extended course being in a large resort makes such a difference! Skiing the same runs over and over at some of the smaller resorts is great for a day, OK for a week but not fantastic for longer than that.

3. EXPERT INSTRUCTION FROM TRUE PROFESSIONALS

We are proud to provide only the highest level of tuition. It will come as no surprise to most of you that Whistler & Val d’Isere are home to some of the most experienced instructors in the world and ALLTRACKS has secured some of the very best - from UIAGM & ACMG mountain guides to Level 4, sponsored ski and snowboard instructors. Their skill, patience and enthusiasm will develop your all mountain skiing and snowboarding and ensure your success in examinations. ALLTRACKS provides high quality, performance ski & snowboard coaching. Our group sizes are between 6-8 (NEVER MORE) and we include 1:1 training too. We do not compromise on this level of quality. What’s more, the instructors and guides we use, are selected for their positive and fun personalities as well as their experience and qualifications. Learn and have fun too. The ALLTRACKS instructor team is led by Guy Hetherington. You can read more about Guy's vast experience and qualifications here: Guy - Alltracks Team

4. ABILITY GROUPS

5. PRIVATE LESSONS

For the last couple of years, we have added some 1:1 tuition sessions to our 11 week courses. In addition to the regular weekly tuition and weekly individual feedback sessions, you will benefit from private lessons with your instructor at key points of the course in order to develop your skiing or snowboarding even further.

6. CENTRAL & COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATION

Whilst on an ALLTRACKS course, you stay in centrally located and very comfortable accommodation. All our places are well equipped with wireless internet, DVD players etc, and almost all have hot tubs too. They are also close to the centre of the resort and not in the far outlying areas. If you would like to discuss the specific course accommodation, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Training is important but so is where you stay. Our courses come with comfortable, well located accommodation

7. FLEXIBILITY & EXTENDING YOUR STAY

Although dates of our courses are published on this website, we appreciate people have different constraints. If you need to arrive a few days late or leave early, we will do our very best to organise a schedule to suit your individual requirements. On the other hand, if you want to get some early turns in, or stay out afterwards, you should be able to extend your stay - please just let us know in good time. We often have people staying out for the whole season. Nowadays, the best flight prices are available online and so people generally book the flights themselves. However, we are ATOL bonded and can therefore buy the flight on your behalf and incorporate it if you wish.

Although most people come on an ALLTRACKS course alone and quickly make friends with the other guests, we are obviously more than happy to have couples or groups of friends come together. Our flexibility means that you can either live amongst others on the course, which most people do, or we can book independent accommodation for you if you prefer. Please contact the team if you have any questions at all about coming as a family, a couple or with friends.

8. WORKING AS AN INSTRUCTOR

We realise that although many of our ski & snowboard instructor course students will return to work or further study, a certain number are completing the course in order to begin working as a ski or snowboard instructor. We take responsibility for helping to find you a job as seriously as running our courses and help plan your career on an individual basis. In Whistler, ALLTRACKS can GUARANTEE an instructor job (subject to telephone interview) as part of our Whistler Internship course.

Although it will require some hard work and a great deal of enthusiasm to find the right role at a top resort from the individual, our reach and contacts mean it should be possible for you to begin working shortly after completing your instructor course. If you are serious about a career in snowsports, please contact one of our team to discuss your goals, aspirations and how ALLTRACKS can help you achieve your career objectives. Please do this as early as possible to give you the best chance of success and to secure any necessary visas etc.

9. ATOL BONDING

Financial Security. The air holiday packages shown are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is 9411. Please see our booking conditions for more information.

What's more, unlike most ski companies,  we guarantee our prices too, so there is no risk of them increasing after you book.

10. VALUE FOR MONEY

At ALLTRACKS, we are convinced that we offer the very best value for money and we include virtually everything - high quality, central accommodation, overnight backcountry tours, season pass, avalanche safety AST 1 courses, delicious meals, and loads more. For complete, transparent information about what is included on ALLTRACKS Academy courses, please check out the dates and prices page or call one of the team if you have any questions at all +44 (0) 1794 388 034. Did you know we are one of very few ski companies that guarantee not to change the price of your course after you have booked.
