The Laurentian Traveller is offered only on Saturdays.

In 2024 the Laurentian Traveller features five outings to Laurentian hills including Mt Tremblant, Mt Blanc (twice), La Reserve & Sommet Morin Heights. The Laurentian Traveller also visits Outaouais ski centres three times, including Mont Cascades, Mt Ste-Marie & Edelweiss. The itinerary includes an exceptional variety of terrain!

This program travels farther from Ottawa and is most suited to older elementary and high school aged participants, grades 5 and up. (Grade 4 may be considered... Contact Snowhawks to discuss.) No beginner-level ski classes are offered on the Laurentian Traveller. For novice through expert level skiers, half-day lessons by Snowhawks Instructors focus on refinement of technique, from fast-track to parallel for novice skiers, through to moguls, dynamic parallel and short radius for those at the expert skiing level.

For beginner snowboarders, full-day lessons are available, while all other snowboarders have half-day lessons to develop from the basics through to advanced skills such as carving, freestyle and snowboard park. Specialty groups offered include Ski & Snowboard Combo, Freestyle and Instructor-In-Training.

Plenty of free-ski/snowboard time with buddies, plus special events, such as synchro, a fun race, and more.

A no-lesson option is available for those in grades 10 and up. See Snowhawks Express program for details.

Instructor-In-Training (IIT)

For advanced skiers and snowboarders aged 14 and up, this group will prepare those interested in becoming nationally certified instructors. Many successful “graduates” are now teaching with Snowhawks, and at mountains across Canada.
