Become a ski instructor in Canada

THE NATURE 

With a wide-range of wildlife from elk to free-roaming bears, the nature in Canada is wild. Get lost and experience the nature up close and personal through a snowmobile trip with local guides. If that sounds a little too close for comfort for you, then why not explore the off-piste with a professional heliski trip? With a season as a ski instructor or snowboard instructor in Canada, the possibilities are endless.

Have you ever heard of the Powder Highway? That is the well-deserved nickname for the legendary snow-blessed 630-mile route from Vancouver through the interior of British Columbia’s Kootenay Rockies. The region offers one of the highest concentration of ski options in the world: downhill, backcountry, cross-country, cat, heli. On average,its boasts 10 meters of snow annually. Therefore, it should be no surprise why Canada is hailed as the home of bottomless champagne powder – a fact which keeps us and all our instructors coming back for more every year.
