Banff Instructor courses

Hi guys, long time no post.

Having not found enough money to go to New Zealand this summer, I am pretty set on doing a season in Banff, Canada next year.
I realy want to do an instructors course (up to CSIA level 2) but cant make up my mind which company to go with.

All of the courses are between 11 and 14 weeks long and cost about GBP7200 each.
However, there are some differences between them:

NonStop ski offers lift passes and teaching in all 3 resorts around banff but is only 11 weeks long and doesnt include flights.
SnowSkool is a 14 week course and includes flights, but the teaching and lift passes only cover Sunshine village.
Peak Leaders gave a great talk at the Natives fair at the weekend, but my friend went last year and had problems with their organisation of things.

Has anyone used any of these (or other) companies for courses either in Banff or anywhere else, or heard anything good or bad about them?

Cheers
Tom

I was on a Nonstop course in Banff and had the best time of my life. All the other courses in Banff had a compromise somewhere but Nonstop just kept giving. There is a bigger crowd too so a lot more going on. If you have any specifics please feel free to ask via this or PM. I love Banff too.

No flights makes sense, if you want to go earlier or leave later it is tricky for them to arrange flights for everybody and it means if you're flying from the midlands or something you don't have to travel all the way to London for the group flight.
