What is Interschools Canada?
On-Snow Training Interschools Canada's on-snow training program at Silver Star Mountain Resort, BC Canada, is the first training program specifically designed to meet the needs of children competing in Interschool Snowsports competitions throughout Australia.
The program was designed by the School SnowSports Development Foundation (SSDF), the organisers of Interschool events around Australia. The goal of Interschools Canada is to provide memorable family snow holidays with quality coaching. .
What is different to other Programs?
- Coaching: All coaches are hand picked and possess the qualifications, skills and knowledge of the Australian Interschool Snowsports systems that’s required in order to maximise improvement and ensure a fun experience.
- Endorsement: Interschools Canada is the official overseas family snow holiday and training program of SSDF.
- Facilities: Interschools Canada has custom built training courses and facilities at Silver Star. These courses are built to replicate as close as possible Australian Interschools courses (but with more snow)!
Each program offers coaching in technique improvement as well as specialized race training in alpine, skier-cross, moguls, snowboard and snowboard-cross. Participants also have the opportunity to develop their freeride skills in the Rockstar park.
Each program runs for in blocks of 5 day sessions Monday to Friday, choose as many weeks of the program as you wish.Participants can book to do 1, 2 or 3 of the weekly 5 day sessions.
Ski Improvement Programs are also offered to parents of children involved with Interschools Canada and are extremely popular with both Mums and Dads. Each of the fun filled and exciting programs ends with races for both participants and parents.
