Information for Students

Are you a person with a disability who would like to take part in fun and exciting snow sports? Through the use of our specialized equipment and teaching techniques, our volunteer instructors provide personalized lessons to individuals of all ages and skill-levels. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for everyone, regardless of ability, to experience the joy and freedom of sliding on the snow. Our regular lessons occur on Sundays at Fernie Alpine Resort.

How to Join

We are using a new online registration system this year called Snowline. Please read the following carefully.
This is an application to register, not a confirmation of a spot. Payment will be requested when the Supervisors confirm volunteers and equipment.
Please log into your profile if you are returning, or set up a profile if you are applying to be a new student.
Be sure to complete all forms and waivers and enter all your information.
Note that students using a sit ski must weigh less than 150 lbs for safety reasons.
