WE ARE SNO - Instructor Courses Anmeldelser 

After over a year of waiting WE ARE SNO made it happen thanks to Adrian. A trip to Canada at Silver Star Resort, Embarking on a journey to become a certified ski instructor was both a thrilling and rewarding experience. Throughout the course, I gained invaluable knowledge, honed my skiing skills, and forged lasting ski buddies with fellow course members from all over the world.

The instructors leading the course were seasoned professionals with a wealth of experience in both skiing and teaching. Taz and Oscar who have a passion for the sport was palpable, and their dedication to helping us succeed was unwavering.

One of the highlights of the course was the extensive on-snow training although sadly snow conditions weren't favourable. The varied terrain and snow conditions. Whether practicing basic manoeuvres on groomed runs or tackling challenging slopes off-piste, each session offered valuable insights and opportunities for improvement. Moreover, the camaraderie among classmates fostered a supportive learning environment where we encouraged and motivated each other to excel.

Participating in the ski instructor course was a transformative experience. Going out of my comfort zone learning more about myself. I don't regret my decisions money worth it!

Thank you 2023/24 Crew!

We were glad to have We Are Sno as residents in our seasonal accommodations for the last two winters. We have a Program Manager and 7 or 8 instructors in residence, and they keep the rooms clean and are great, respective tenants for our property. We even receive comments from the community about the caliber of this group (RED is a small place!). Adrian is our main point of contact to coordinate the logistics. He is super responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks We Are Sno!

Thank you We Are Sno for an amazing season and experience in the Furano base. Well organised and great accommodation location with it being right next to the resort ski lifts, couldn't have asked for anything better!! Got to meet many amazing people and made lifelong connections. Got to improve heavily in my snowboarding skills and honestly one of the best experiences in my lifetime!! Thanks Jordan, Ed and Adrian for all the support and amazing experience!! 😁

Had a great season in Niseko, Japan. The training we got for the level 1 and 2 was fantastic. I improved my skiing massively and have two trainers who offered to be references for future applications. Definitely a great way to get into this industry. A truly awesome experience.

The course is a great time, you meet great people and have great experiences, how ever for the amount you spend, it might not be serving to what you would expect. Don’t regret going, but would absolutely find a different and more sensible approach to achieve the same experiences.

Great season in Furano, amazing accommodation with the resort in walking distance. Organized really well
Thanks for such a good time
And thanks to Ed and Jordan for arranging it for us

Having completed my instructor course in Furano, Japan I’m happy to say that it was one of the best decisions of my life and I would highly recommend.

Besides living in Japan, surrounded by its beautiful culture, people and incredible snow conditions, the course itself was extremely well-organized.
The accommodation was ridiculously close to the lifts and very ‘home-like’, allowing me and the other amazing people on the course to get to know one another and make life long friendships and memories.
Our handler/ caretaker was with us throughout the whole course, not only helping us with our every need but also being super caring and positive whenever it looked like we needed it.
I loved every second of this course, from training and being taught by incredible instructors to successfully passing my Level 1 and 2, to then teach and work with kids and people from all around the world, definitely a life time experience.
I learnt so much and am so so grateful for the beautiful people I met and got to do it all with. If I had anything bad to say about this course is that it unfortunately come to and end.

Excellent facilitators for completing a ski season!

An amazing opportunity, I would highly recommend to anyone who is unsure if they want to do it. WE ARE SNO are so helpful with Visa applications and preparing for the course. Big thanks to my course conductors Eliza and Eli for helping make the season run so smoothly, they were great!

WeAreSno have made this experience way easier than I first thought, from the friends I’ve made to support throughout the course. If you’re thinking about starting a career as a ski instructor or just want a year abroad to enjoy a season skiing, I would 100% recommend doing this through WeAreSno! The company’s representatives Adrian, Oscar and Taz have been amazing during this process and I can’t thank them enough for all their help.

I had an absolute blast at Le Massif De Charlevoix in Quebec doing a season with We Are Sno. The course organisers (Eliza and Uja) delivered a great experience for the 24 We Are Sno instructors with trips into the city, nights out and local events.

As for the ski school and skiing, both were excellent, with a huge variety of snow conditions and local staff members providing their fair share of banter with the dubbed "We Are Sno lot".

The communication and support throughout the Visa process was amazing and made the whole process infinitely less stressful. The two representatives posted in Silverstar were both really helpful not just with Skischool related questions but also supporting us with advice for generally settling in to Canada. My only critique is that I would have liked to have more information surrounding the type of skis to bring and how the options to buy when in Canada are fairly limited for high performance piest skis. Overall I've had a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend them to other people looking to start out in the ski industry.

WeAreSno could not have made it easier to move countries and become ski instructors and to make the most amazing friends along the way. The reps are also amazing and make you feel like family! Massive big up to Oscar and Taz who will support you without limits!

I completed my first ski season at mount washington and the process was so easy the whole way through thanks to wearesnow.

Prior to arriving Adrian and Cogo were super helpful, answering any queries we have. Once arriving we were supported with getting our sims, bank accounts and Sin numbers within the first 24 hours. We were also treated to meals and group activities to get to know everyone. Plus the accommodation at Mount Washington is gorgeous!!

Everyone I’ve met at wearesno have been amazing, a proper little family. The Mount Washington staff are also really welcoming and offer so much training to improve their staff in both teaching and personal ski/board abilities. I have attained both my level 1 and 2 ski levels thanks to this training.

I would highly recommend using wearesno as your first ski season company!

The training that they guarantee is top of the range. Furthermore the people you meet on the course are awesome and your course conductors accommodate anything you need. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

I am currently coming to the end of my season with We Are Sno in Mount Washington.
They made it so easy, from applying for our visas, to getting us set up in our accommodation, bank accounts and phone sims when we arrived in December.
We were treated to a few meals out, taken to an ice hockey game & even tried curling to get us settled in at the start of the course.

The accommodation is class and the bus for the mountain picks us up daily.
Although not the best season snow wise in Canada for most, but this has been the best experience with a great bunch of people. Achieving my goals of obtaining my level 1 & level 2 CSIA qualifications & majorly improving my skiing too!
Big thanks to Adrian, Cogo our program manager & our trainers at Mount Washington.

Canada has been incredible thanks to WeAreSno! Oscar and Taz were great course managers and were really helpful setting us up and guiding us through the first few months we were here. SilverStar is a great resort and they have a really good relationship with the intern programs. The level of training is at a seriously high standard, and the team at the school are all awesome people, everyone is likeminded as we are all here for the same reason.

If anyone is on the fence about doing a season with WeAreSno then I would say 100% do it! The whole process is hassle free and the experience is incredible. I’ve met some really great people and have fallen in love with the lifestyle here. Thanks to Adrian, Oscar, Taz and the rest of the crew!

Doing my first Season was a breeze with WeAreSno in Silverstar, Canada! Through support from Taz and Oscar, the whole process was made so much easier. The friends made on the programme are awesome, I’m finishing the season with my Level 2 ski and will be coming back next year! Couldn’t recommend them more 🙂

I completed a ski season at mount washington and the whole process was so easy the whole way through.

They gave me all the information I needed from beginning the application to arriving at the resort. Adrian answered any questions I had prior to arrival and also checked up on us all regularly throughout the season. Cogo our program manager was a huge help showing us around the mountain, the town and organising meals for us. The quality of training we were given exceeded all of our expectations and all 16 of us on the coarse saw a huge improvement in our riding with 100% pass rate on our level 1 and 2 exams.The accommodation in Courtenay is amazing and the town is really nice with loads of places to explore.

I hugely recommend WAS for anyone looking to do a ski season if you want an easy process and an incredible experience on the mountains!!

WEARESNO have been an amazing company from the point of first booking to even now towards the end of my season. The support I have had has been unwavering, I asked countless silly questions to Adrian before the season started and I never felt like I was bothering him at all.
I looked at multiple, similar companies to WEARESNO and have now spoken to many people who came with different companies, and I am very glad I made the choice I did. Many people didn’t have as much support as I did and are shocked when I tell them how amazing WEARESNO have been.

The support we had when we got here was amazing, Taz and Oscar (our course coordinators) have been amazing throughout the entire season. They have always been happy to help with questions we need to ask or information we have needed, often we didn’t even need to ask questions as they had already given us the info we needed. They have been professional, fun and supportive, I have no idea what I would have done without them. They truly are a credit to WEARESNO and I would now consider them my friends.

If you considering having an amazing experience like the one I have been on since November, do yourself a favour and pick WEARESNO to help you!
