PARTNERED WITH BRUNDL SPORTS

Your boots, skis and board are the tools of your new trade so it is vital you invest wisely in equipment that is right for you.

Our very good friends at Bründl Sports in Austria will offer their expertise in snow sport equipment for free to our students.

You can have your new boots professionally fitted by their very own Austrian World Cup Team fitter in resort. Buying your equipment through Ski Instructor Academy and Bründl Sports will give you the peace of mind that if you have any issues with your new kit, it will be rectified or exchanged the very same day free of charge.

It can be fully insured against loss, theft or damage and can have you back on brand new equipment without losing a days work or skiing, storage on the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier is also free and to top it all off we have negotiated some fantastic Ski Instructor Academy discounts on everything you need for the season which you will benefit from, meaning you will get the very best and latest equipment for a fraction of the cost you would pay in stores.
