Welcome to Summit Professional Development, the instructor training side of Summit Ski & Snowboard School.
As a school we have coached and trained instructors over the last 15 years from Level 2 all the way through the system to gain the BASI Level 4 ISTD and the Swiss Patent. Our experienced team is made up highly qualified coaches who have taught all over the world at this level. We have the knowledge and understanding of skiing, the industry and BASI that will help you become the best instructor you can be.
If you are looking to further your ski teaching career with the opportunity to work in one of the best resorts in the world then get in touch. We want you to pass your exams but we also want to help you be a great ski instructor.
We believe the best way to get better is to start by improving your understanding and awareness of what is the right level and where you sit in relation to that. Combine this with some mileage and getting good skiing done across all sorts of terrain and snow will prepare you for any tough day on the hill.
Our team of ISTD’s, BASI Trainer, and Swiss Brevet’s have taught skiing and coached instructors all over the world.
We are passionate about developing people to be better ski instructors to help continue to have an incredible team.
