This three-week course is tailored to help you reach the highest level of skiing certification in the U.S. system. It’s structured into three progressive phases, each designed to challenge, refine, and elevate your technical performance.

Phase 1 – Pre-Assessment & Personalised Training Plan (One Week)

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your skiing in the individual, integrated, and versatility tasks. This allows us to create a personalised, multi-week training plan that targets your key development areas and aligns with PSIA Level 3 criteria.

Phase 2 – Elite Camp (One Week)

This elite training week is where you push your boundaries. With support from hand-picked Rookie Academy specialist trainers, you’ll be exposed to a range of terrain and snow conditions. The goal is simple: challenge your technical understanding, enhance your tactical decision-making, and continue to raise your performance ceiling.

Phase 3 – Final Development and Assessment Preparation (One Week)

The final week focus on consistency, control, and execution. You’ll refine your skiing and build the confidence required to demonstrate high-level proficiency across all PSIA Level 3 tasks. This is where you take full ownership of your skiing and prepare to succeed in your Level 3 exam. The PSIA level 3 ski exam will be in this week.

Join us at Rookie Academy and train with some of the most experienced coaches in the industry as you work towards achieving your PSIA Level 3 certification.

Great skiing, made easy.
