The clinic, at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, B.C. offers an unparalleled opportunity for patrollers, along with their friends and family, to access top-level ski and snowboard skills improvement in a relaxed, convivial environment focused on learning and enjoyment. Week 1 runs January 18 to 23, 2026.<\/p>\n
Registrations for next year\u2019s clinic (three clinic weeks in January and February 2026) have been extraordinarily strong since sign-up opened in late May. Although there are a handful of spaces remaining in Week 1, weeks 2 (February 2 to 6, 2026) and 3 (February 22 to 27, 2026) are completely sold out.<\/p>\n
The program includes four days of group lessons in either skiing or snowboarding, five days of lift access and a celebratory banquet on the Thursday night, all at the world-class venue of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. There is pricing available for youth (13 to 17) and children (six to 12), and additional one-day lift tickets available for adult, youth and children.<\/p>\n
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 or snowboarding on the Friday.<\/p>\n
There is a full and fun social agenda, and great discounts on food, equipment rentals, retail goods and many other offerings. Also, awesome swag! This event is super fun.<\/p>\n
This clinic has been organized by CSP Mountain Division volunteers and offered at cost since 1977; next year\u2019s clinic marks 50 years. We are working on some special features to mark the 50-year milestone.<\/p>\n
The full program package of lifts, lessons and the banquet is a very reasonable $750 for adults. Pricing for accommodation (booked separately) varies according to room type and location.<\/p>\n
