Q: What is the main difference between the Fastrack Gap Course and the CSIA Ski Courses?
A: The Fastrack Gap Course covers CSIA Ski Level 1 and 2 and a First Aid Course and includes lots of extra training weeks.
Q: What is included in the Course fee?
A: Course fee is just for the Course, Exam and Assessment. Accommodation, lift pass, travel etc are all extra but we can help with discounts and logistics.
Q: What happens if there is a lack of snow?
A: If snow is lacking in Soldeu, then we transport candidates to a higher resort about 15 minutes away. We rarely have to do this. There is plenty of theory to cover as well so there may be an indoor workshop.
Q: What are the timings each day?
A: Candidates meet at the top of the Soldeu Gondola (only one Gondola in Soldeu). Meeting time is 09:15am ready to start at 09:30am. You are usually on the mountain all day. Any theory work is in the evening.
Q: What is the nearest airport?
A: Most candidates fly into Barcelona (BCN) or Toulouse and then catch a local bus to Soldeu. More bus times are available from Barcelona (BCN). We can help with bus tickets.
Q: What is the minimum age to take a Ski or Snowboard Course?
A: For a short Course the minimum age is 15.
A: For Fastrack Courses where a candidate is in resort for 8 – 10 weeks, minimum age is 1
