Adventure
Did you ever imagine spending a night camping in a snow covered forest? How about tearing down the slopes at speeds that would make Erik Guay turn his head?
The rugged mountains and record snow falls of the mountains of Vancouver Island, off Canada’s west coast, offer the ultimate in out door adventure. Under the instruction of our highly skilled instructors you will find yourself taking on challenges that you wouldn’t have thought possible before you came to us.
If the skiing, snowboarding and back country survival courses were the only things Section 8 had to offer – it would still be a once in a lifetime adventure. But, there is more — much more. Go surfing. We have possible the only ski instructor training course with a surfing option.
Travel
For many people, Canadians included, Canada stops at the British Columbia west coast. However, just and hour and half by ferry and a few minutes by air is Vancouver Island.
Vancouver Island is the largest of the islands off the west coast. It sits right in the path of the moist Pacific winds, which in the winter means SNOW. Largely confined to the mountains that make up the center of Vancouver Island, snow packs of over 16 meters are not uncommon.
The main ski hill is located at Mount Washington. Mount Washington is accessible via Comox airport and commuter flights from western Canada’s three major international airports. It is also on the main highway running the length of Vancouver Island.
