Program options

Instructor Internship

We have two different types of programs. The first is our internship which involves training, qualifying and working within a single season. The only way we make this happen is by guaranteeing all interns a job offer after they have finished the training portion of the course and are qualified. This program is for those of you looking to get into the industry as an instructor or looking to work through the season on the snow.

Training Course

The second program option is one of our training programs. These run from 4 weeks to season long and are perfect for those of you who are not looking to work but looking to vastly increase your skill level and shred powder 24/7 at an epic resort like Lake Louise or Revelstoke in Canada. Programs include your level 1 training and instructor certification, full accommodation, full season pass, with the opportunity to upgrade to include level 2 instructor certification, first aid, avalanche and freestyle training. You’ll have as much time on the snow that you can handle in your first winter season while everyone else is slaving away working. If you later decide that ‘winter seasoning’ is for you, we have over 30+ resort partners around the world and would be happy to set you up with an instructor job the following winter season.
