Basecamp training is based at Lake Louise. The area has spectacular

scenery with uniquely amazing terrain, a perfect environment for

instructor or performance coaching. The area boasts 4200 acres of

skiable terrain and is one of the largest ski areas in North America.There are runs to cater for all levels and the unique layout caters well

for large groups who are looking for an incredible time. There are

endless chutes, gullies, parks and pistes for the more advanced rider

and Basecamp take full advantage of this awesome playground.

Based between four mountains, the main resort areas, Front Side

& South Face, Ptarmigan, Paradise Bowls, Back Bowls and Larch,

provide skiing and boarding terrain to suit any style and level. The

long season from mid-November to late May means that there is alsoplenty of time to really explore the resorts and uncover all their hidden

gems. Couple this with an optional Tri-Area pass that joins Lake Louise

to Sunshine Village and Norquay and youll be in for an unbelievable

season. Combined, these three resorts offer almost 8,000 acres of

skiable terrain with an average of 33ft of dry, light snow in Sunshine

Village, thats more than any other resort in Canada.

Life on Basecamp was AMAZING, we hadtop training from the best instructors at thehill and our riding improved more than my

expectations. Despite the slight set back

of a broken wrist (it happens) I am now

currently working at the Lake Louise ski hill

along with my other fellow Basecampers

who stayed on to work for the season.

I would highly recommend this course to

others as it was a fantastic experience,

Basecamp were brilliant with organising jobs

for us and it was awesome value for money.

If your on the fence about doing a course

just do it, you wont regret it.
