What is Interschools?

For thousands of students, Interschools has been the gateway to discovering the thrill of competitive skiing and snowboarding, sparking a lifelong passion for the sport. 

From Interschools, many students have gone on to professional instructing, coaching and competing in higher-level competitions, including World Cups and the Olympics.
