The CSP Mountain Division Ski Improvement Clinic includes four days of group lessons in either skiing or snowboarding, five days of lift access and a celebratory banquet, all at the world-class venue of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, B.C.
Registrations for the 2025 clinic set a record pace after sign ups opened May 29. Week 3 sold out in less than 20 days and weeks 1 and 2 are filling steadily. Don’t delay if you hope to attend in 2025.
The 2025 edition offers three clinic weeks from late January through February:
- 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 February 28, 2025. – Sold out.
This clinic is aimed at CSP members, as well as friends and family. 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.
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/boarding on the Friday.
Along with instruction and skills improvement, 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 has become very popular and has sold out since 2015, even with a tripling of capacity to three weeks from one.
Event and registration information can be found on the CSP Mountain Division website, at https://www.skipatrol.ca/mountain/.
Don’t delay taking 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 is organized and administered and has been 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. We hope you will join us.
