We run ski instructor internship programmes in two of Canada’s top winter destinations – SilverStar Mountain Resort and Mt Washington Alpine Resort (both in the beautiful western province of British Columbia). These first rate ski instructor internships will set you up with the skills, qualifications and employment opportunities you need to enter the snowsports industry.
Whether you’re a passionate skier planning a winter season or looking to get serious about a career on the slopes, a ski instructor internship in Canada is your perfect stepping stone.
Following your ski instructor internship in Canada, you’ll gain an international instructor qualification from the Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance (CSIA). CSIA is governed by the International Ski Instructors Association (ISIA), which sets the minimum standard requirements for ski instructors internationally.
Training through CSIA means you’ll have the freedom to work as a ski instructor in a range of prime winter destinations around the world.
After completing your CSIA Level 1 ski instructors’ exam, you’ll automatically transition into paid employment in the same ski school you trained with. Senior members of the snowsports school and your WE ARE SNO programme manager will help you settle into your new role and become a valuable member of the team.
Both Canadian resorts we work with have large and busy schools, their standard of work is high, and wages are competitive. Plus, ski internship employment usually runs until the end of the winter season, meaning you get to stay in Canada for longer and make the most of your time on the mountains.
