THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE

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.

Check out the video below, to see how we do it.

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.

You should watch the short videos at the bottom of this page to get some excellent tips and advice to look out for when choosing your new equipment

The Packages

Together with Bründl Sports, we have developed three priced Equipment Packages for our students enabling you to budget a specific amount towards your equipment in advance of your course to avoid having to travel with additional money, for those funding their course and wish to have an all inclusive invoice total or simply if your wish to take advantage of favourable exchange rates. Because we’re all individuals, we offer open packages that do not favour a specific brand but allow us and you to use the full scope of available ski/snowboard brands and styles that suits your needs.

**These packages are voucher amounts that you can then use towards anything in Brundl Sport, they do not guarantee that you can purchase everything you need within that set amount, these are guides based on the average spend in each category and as such the total cost can vary from person to person.  It will be up to you, your personal preference, what fits best as well as what our recommendations to you are for your specific course when it comes to the total cost for your equipment.
