Reasons to choose NONSTOP in Banff

  • We have been the only company to provide training and lift passes in all THREE resorts, not just 1! (Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Norquay). You wouldn't order a three course meal and then only eat the starter would you?
  • Small coaching groups: We only ever have a maximum of 8 per instructor. Unlike some companies who will have up to 12 in a group!
  • We have been running for 9 years and are one of the most established course operators in Banff.
  • Instruction - we don’t cut corners! You will have the best instructors for the duration of the course (not just the weeks before your exams) and we offer instruction on every week of the 11-week course.
  • Our accommodation is in a hotel on Banff Ave (only a 10min walk from the town centre) and offers twin and single rooms all with double beds and an en-suite bathroom.  Not only that, there is a common room area exclusive to NONSTOP, an on site pool, hot tub, sauna, bar and restaurant.
  • Our course director, also known as your host, is extremely experienced having lived in Banff for many years and is therefore able to offer you many Banff secrets!
  • Our accommodation is right next door to a couple of very popular bars and steak houses offering you your own little community.
  • Our unique credit activity system (11-week courses) sees you experiencing more of Canada.  Activities including snowmobiling, cat-skiing, avalanche courses, NHL hockey games, trips to other resorts and natural hot springs amongst many more!

We love Banff and want to ensure you get the best out of it too!
