Spend the winter working as a ski instructor

Train. Qualify. Get Paid. Spend a Season on the Canadian Slopes.

The ALLTRACKS Internship at Cypress Mountain is an ideal way to turn your passion for skiing into a paid instructor role — whether you’re taking a gap year, enjoying a career break, or starting a long-term career in the mountains.

Run in partnership with the Cypress Mountain Ski School, this programme offers top-tier professional training followed by a guaranteed instructor job for the season — provided you successfully complete your Level 1 Ski Instructor Exam. With expert coaching and full support, this qualification is well within reach for anyone who commits to the process.

You’ll begin the season with focused, high-quality instructor training, designed to develop your skiing and teaching skills to professional standards. After qualifying, you’ll step straight into your role as a paid ski instructor, gaining hands-on experience, earning money, and enjoying everything that life in the mountains has to offer.

Whether you’re looking to kick off a career in snowsports or simply make the most of a season in Canada’s spectacular outdoors, the ALLTRACKS Cypress Internship is the perfect way to make it happen.
