An amazing winter experience
Snow Trainers wants you to have a fun, rewarding, and memorable experience on our snowboard instructor courses which is why we chose Copper Mountain for our USA location. Copper Mountain receives an average snowfall of 282 in / 710 cm, 22 lifts and 2,450 acres/985 hectares of terrain to play on you are sure to have an amazing time. Snow Trainers’ students will also have access to the Copper Mountain employee cafeteria to buy discounted lunches, which saves you money and makes you feel like part of the Copper team. Near Copper Mountain is Woodward, the one-of-a-kind indoor freestyle training facility. You have the option of buying an add-on pass so you can practice your snowboard tricks on a trampoline and in the foam pit before you try them in the park. You will find air-bag jumps back on the mountain so you can make sure you have mastered your snowboarding techniques before you take it to a real snow landing.
