Registrations are now open for the 2025 CSP Mountain Division Ski Improvement Clinic, with three clinic weeks from late January through February, all at the amazing Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, B.C.
- Week 1 will be January 19 to January 24, 2025.
- Week 2 will be February 2 to 7, 2025.
- Week 3 will be February 23 to March 28, 2025.
The program includes four days of group lessons in either skiing or snowboarding, five days of lift access and a celebratory banquet on the Thursday night, all at the world-class venue of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. There is pricing available for youth (13 to 17) and children (6 to 12), and additional one-day lift tickets available for adult, youth and children.
This clinic is aimed at CSP members, along with their friends and family.
Attendees receive group ski or snowboard instruction for more than 20 hours across four days (Monday to Thursday), in groups of similar competencies to optimize learning. The Thursday night is a highlight wrap-up banquet, with a day of unprogrammed skiing on the Friday. There’s a full and fun social agenda, and attendees also have access to great discounts on food, retail goods and many other offerings. Also, awesome swag! This event is a blast.
The venue is amazing, the instruction is superb and the social atmosphere is unmatched. Don’t miss it. This event has sold out since at least 2015 and grown to three clinic weeks from one.
Pricing is very competitive, with the full program package of lifts, lessons and the banquet coming in at a very reasonable $712 for adults. Pricing for accommodation (booked separately) varies according to room type and location.
Event and registration information can be found on the CSP Mountain Division website, at https://www.skipatrol.ca/mountain/
Please make sure to book early to take advantage of this great event that brings patrollers, their friends and their families together from across Canada for some superb instruction at an amazing mountain amid a terrific social atmosphere. This event has been organized by volunteers and offered at cost by the CSP Mountain Division annually since 1977 to provide top-level ski and snowboard skills improvement in a relaxed, convivial environment focused on learning and enjoyment.
