“Being an instructor with Fernie Adaptive isn’t just about teaching skiing or snowboarding. You see, most of our students come to our program with a wall in front of them. That wall says, “You can’t do this. It’s impossible.” Our instructors “karate kick” that wall into a million pieces, and show our students that anything is possible. As an instructor, you get to be transformed. You get to become something so much more. You become a real life superhero to your student. And who wouldn’t want to be that? ”
