The EA Mountain Bike Training

EA Mountain Bike Training is a natural concept progression and flow in partnership with EA Ski & Snowboard Training. Where Mountain Bike Instructor Training & the Summer Season is the main focus vs Ski / Snowboard instructor Training & the Winter Season. Currently offering a Mountain Bike Instructor Internship Course in Revelstoke, Canada and will be offering a Mountain Bike Instructor Training Course in Queenstown, New Zealand. Both beautiful and scenic places for an overseas adventure experience or gap year during a Summer Season.

Read more below about EA Ski & Snowboard Training and it's foundations as a leading Instructor Internship provider and facilitator.

EA Ski & Snowboard Training began in 2006 when two ski instructors; Eryn and Jonny were teaching in the USA. They noticed how difficult it was to break into snowsports instruction, a job which had given them so much enjoyment teaching skiing and snowboarding around the world. So they decided to fix this problem by setting up a course combining an instructor training course with a guaranteed job offer to teach in the same season.

The concept of the Instructor Internship was born and has changed the nature of the industry ever since. Over the years we have built partnerships with the top resorts around the world and now offer ski instructor internship courses with 26 Ski Schools in over 5 Countries. Added to that no other company can match EA’s global resort networks spanning Canada, USA, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland. This means more open doors for interns and trainees.

We love snow and all things slide-able. Our MISSION is to keep providing the best ski and snowboard courses in the world, so YOU get more from your season (or seasons!) in the snow.

EA Ski & Snowboard Training remains focused on offering the best winter experience on the planet and making it easy for people to become instructors. There are lots of shiny options on the market but only with EA Ski & Snowboard can you be sure you will get the goods when it comes to becoming an instructor.
