Dave Cowell, BASI/ICE Trainer, Director of ICE

The ICE Trainers

It is the quality of training that sets ICE apart from all other Gap Providers. On no other course of this type will you receive top quality training exclusively from BASI Trainers qualified to train and examine to the highest level in their respective disciplines. ICE is not a tour operator and does not hire in specialist expertise for the exam parts of the course leaving training with local ski schools often out of the BASI loop.

Instead it uses a hand-picked team of highly qualified BASI Trainers for all of its training and examining throughout the course. This gives a synergy from Day 1 of the course to the final day and ensures that you will be thoroughly well prepared for your exams, giving you the best possible chance of success. Below is out list of ski trainers (click here for snowboard trainers), if you would like to speak to one about the finer points of your course, please feel free. All the expert advise you need is only a phone call away.
