Ski Instructor Internships in Canada

Whistler Ski Internship

Live the Dream! ALLTRACKS offers ski instructor internships in conjunction with Whistler Blackcomb Snow School University designed to prepare you for a career as a ski Instructor at Canada's best resort.

Get in touch to request our IEC Working Holiday Visa Guide.

On the ski instructor internship, provided you pass your PSIC or CSIA Level 1 instructor exam (which 100% of people have) and complete the training program, you’ll go on to a paid ski instructor job with the Whistler Blackcomb Snow School.

Everyone who has previously completed the WBSSU internship through ALLTRACKS has successfully gone on to secure a ski instructor job in Whistler!

We’d love to hear from you if you think you’re up for this amazing opportunity – whether it’s for a once-in-a-lifetime career break or gap year ski season, or to begin a full-time career in the mountains.

Places are limited on this programme and the ski instructor internship can get booked up very quickly, so please do contact the ALLTRACKS team if you’d like to apply now, or for an initial conversation about what’s involved – our team are on hand to answer all the questions related to the course and the application process.

If you are looking for a regular ski instructor course we have numerous other options available too.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Places are extremely limited on the WBSSU ski instructor internship course. Interested? Contact us right away so one of the team can help you begin your application and answer any questions.

Candidates do need to have relevant skills or experience. In particular, candidates should have a positive, enthusiastic and motivated outlook, and excellent communication skills who can work happily in a team environment. Being a strong intermediate to advanced skier as well as having some good solid teaching, coaching or leadership experience is necessary. You’ll also need a valid work permit to work in Canada – another reason why it’s critical that you apply as soon as possible.

Expert Coaching

The three-week ski instructor internship training program is delivered by some of the most experienced instructors in Whistler and will focus on preparing you to be a successful instructor at the same time as improving your all-mountain riding.

You’ll be schooled in official CSIA and PSIC methodology, and develop highly-useful safety and teaching skills. You get plenty of individual attention and feedback whilst still benefiting from group dynamics.

Benefits & Qualifications

Towards the end of the ski instructor internship training, you will take your Level 1 CSIA or PSIC instructor exam.
100% of Alltracks internship students have been successfully employed as an instructor in Whistler, but the role is subject to passing Whistler's recruitment process.

Whistler Blackcomb

Our ski instructor internships are based in Whistler Blackcomb as no other Canadian resort comes close to offering the same combination of varied terrain, massive snowfall and a vibrant resort base and it is a fantastic place to work.

If you want a ski instructor job after you qualify, you stand the best chance by applying to a snow school with suitable size and scope. Thankfully, Whistler Blackcomb Snow School is the largest in the world, with well over 1,000 employees. Although internships are available at other resorts many of these are slightly bogus with people getting offered a "job" but not actually every getting any working hours. This has never been the case in Whistler.

Whistler Accommodation

As part of the ski instructor internship, accommodation is included in the Whistler. The staff housing is relatively basic but is sociable and virtually ski in/ski out.

Once our staff housing allocation is full we provide alternative accommodation in the Whistler HI Hostel and we can discuss the details with you if you have questions about the accommodation arrangements. You can read more about the HI Hostel on our Whistler page of this website and follow a link to the hostel's own website from there.

Ski Instructor Career Advice

If you are looking to secure a ski instructor job beyond an initial season, we are on hand to help provide advice and support. Many interns have returned to Whistler in following seasons to work as well as taking up career opportunities elsewhere. Feel free to get in touch anytime if you would like to discover more. We’d love to help you continue your career in the mountains.
