Ski Industry Courses
Program Overview
On top of our Nelson, BC, based two-year Ski Resort Operations & Management Diploma Program, we offer several online industry-specific training courses for lift personnel and risk managers working within the snow sports and hospitality industry.
LIFT 150 – Train the Trainer
Every August, we open up our online standardized training program for passenger ropeway and passenger conveyor trainers. Lift 150 is a requirement of Technical Safety BC for supervisors and managers training ropeway personnel.
Three times a year (fall, winter and spring), we offer online courses to guide maintenance and operational staff in the ski industry through a comprehensive understanding of regulations governing the construction, maintenance, inspection and operational requirements of passenger ropeways and passenger conveyors found in the current CSA standard.
LIFT 151 – Surface Passenger Ropeways and Passenger Conveyors
Guides course participants through current applicable regulations governing the construction, operation and maintenance of surface passenger ropeways and conveyors.
LIFT 152 – Aerial Fixed Grip Passenger Ropeways
Carries on from Lift 151 and moves into regulations governing fixed grip aerial passenger ropeways.
LIFT 153 – Aerial Detachable Grip Passenger Ropeways
Delve further into the regulations to include requirements that apply to both fixed and detachable grip aerial passenger ropeways.
SNOW 156 – Ski Resort Risk Management
Offered every year in January, this beneficial online course is for anyone with risk management responsibilities to help learn to assess and manage the risks ski areas face on a day-to-day basis using actual case studies and online discussions about current industry issues and solutions.
