A Big Mountain Coach is a freeride guide trained to work in off-piste, big mountain terrain located within the ski area. Great coaching in this environment requires specific skills that this training provides. The program is designed to challenge, empower and hone the understanding and skills in the alpine environment playground.
The Level 2 Big Mountain Program comprises on-snow training split into two separate 3-day modules, with an additional 1 day module dedicated to Backcountry Safety, emphasizing Skiing Skills and Guiding/Teaching Skills development pathways. It is STRONGLY recommended that the Skiing skills module be taken first as this will ensure you have the skiing competency to safely navigate the terrain required for the Guiding/Teaching module.
