After Europe, Canada is the most popular place people want to get a ski job in.
The reasons are varied, but most people will tell you it's because of the powder! Yep, if you're a powder lover, Canada is the country for you. With an average snow fall of 720 inches they've got tons of the stuff.
No matter what level of skiier or boarder you are you'll find something suitable in Canada - everything from easy beginner slopes to cross country routes and glacier skiing. For the thrill seekers amongst you, why not try your hand at heli skiing or cat skiing!
With thousands of seasonnaiers flocking to Canada from all over the world to find a ski job, so it's best to secure employment before you leave. Unless you're a Canadian, you'll need a work visa before you can apply for most jobs. If you're aged between 18 and 35 you can apply for International Experience Canada - what used to be called a working holiday visa. Those over 35 will need a temporary work visa. Further details on visas can be found here. Processing times for visas vary, so if you are planning on working in Canada you will need to sort out the paperwork early.
Deep powder, thriving nightlife, untracked terrain and breathtaking scenery are what make Canada so special so what are you waiting for?
