Here's what some people have to say about our training.
Thank you very much for everything. I had an amazing time, probably the best 12 weeks of my life, and its great now to have a whole heap of qualifications in a field that I'm interested in. I will definately reccommend it highly to everyone.

Excellent course. Sometimes I forget how much my skiing has improved but if I think back to how I skied just 12 weeks ago it is unrecognisable. Excellent place, excellent people. I want to come back next winter and am making plans to do so. Thanks!!

I would definately recommend this course to people.
I was fairly new to snowboarding and believe if I had attended other courses elsewhere I wouldn’t have been at the standard to be able to pass the C.A.S.I. tests. I improved a great deal whilst at Section 8 because of the dedication and time the instructors put in.
Even though when I arrived I was suffering from a knee injury, when I was able to get back on my board they put in a great deal of effort to get me up to the standard I would’ve been at if I had not missed any tuition time.
Guys who run Section 8 are Kool... Thanks for all the times you went out of your way to help. The effort put in by Tobin and Mike to be there for us not just on the slopes was great.
I am definately going to try and get work at Mount Washington this winter so I can get more training from Section 8.
My season at Section 8 was the best time of my life so far, I’m proud to be a Section 8'er !!! Was totally &*&%$#% Awsome!

A first-class instructor's course for any budding snowsports instructors. With superb hands-on tuition, excellent care both off and on the slope and situated a breathtakingly beautiful environment, this program is one of the best on the market. Starting with learning the basics of skiing technique, you continue to cover the relevant criteria for your Level 1 and 2 Instructor’s certificates, as well as doing your basic avalanche training. There is plenty of fun to be had off the slopes as well whether it’s bungy jumping, surfing or just chilling in front of a film or a hockey match. I will be going home to recommend it to everyone I know.

Brilliant course altogether. Avalanche Safety Training 1 was amazing, same as all the training and advice. Ski school was great, everyone was super friendly and willing to help with anything. Food was fantastic, Kana's a great cook, Tobin and Mike not too shabby either! Guys, really enjoyed the coast, TreeGo and everything. Great value for money and it won't be the last you see of me! Ha ha.
Coaching = superb, accommodation = excellent, meals = coniseur style, location = tremendous, resort = inviting, schedule = open, night life = not for the faint hearted... Section = 8 things you wont forget!
Thanks for a brilliant month! Great start to 2009!
