After qualifying as a ski instructor in my gap year, I left Edinburgh University in 2002 and set up Base Camp to run ski and snowboard instructor courses for people on a gap-year, sabbatical, or looking for a fast track into the industry. At the time Base Camp was the first ever company to run an Instructor Course in Europe and the first ever company to work with the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI) in its 40 year history. 

Five years on and Base Camp is one of the market leaders for wintersports training worldwide. It has rapidly developed a reputation for dynamic and pioneering training and works with some of the industry's top coaches. Base Camp runs instructor courses in the resorts of Meribel and Val d'Isere in France and Whistler and Banff in Canada.

Base Camp also provides Seasonal Accommodation, Freestyle and Powder Camps, School Ski Trips and in 2006 launched a magazine. Fergie spends his winters between the mountains and London and would be happy to help any OM who would like further information or is interested in learning more about the industry.
