What is the Ski Instructor Internship
What is the Ski Instructor Internship
Join a life-changing full ski season in Canada, training and working in the heart of Jasper National Park. Ski with the best trainers in the industry, gain world-renowned qualifications and secure a guaranteed job offer before you fly.
On this internship, you’ll qualify as a CSIA Level 1 ski instructor by the beginning of December, and begin your employment in the resort straight after. Soak up the magic of Christmas as a local in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, share your adventure with like-minded people, and experience the lively nightlife of a vibrant resort town.

Owned and operated by ski instructors, for ski instructors. Our team at Simply Snowsports are experts in instructor training and live and work in the mountains. With decades of teaching experience and resorts worldwide, we have the knowledge to help you get the best out of your ski season, for the best price.
- Instructor Run Company - decades of hands-on teaching experience
- Experienced homegrown ski instructor trainers (yes, they did this course too once upon a time!)
- Industry inside knowledge - we are all examiners.
- Personal Touch - our team care about you, your well-being and your ski development
- Expert IEC visa support from people who have done it themselves.
- Leaders in the ski and travel industry
Food
During your course, we want you to concentrate on becoming an awesome skier and teacher. That’s why we provide dinner and breakfast 7 days a week for the first three weeks of the internship. Breakfast is often on the mountain on training days, and in town on rest days.
Dinner is specially prepared for the Internship crew by chefs at local restaurants. The menu is varied, and the quality is high. We cater for all dietary requirements.
Staff Accommodation
When you sign up for an internship with Simply Snowsports, your staff housing will be pre-arranged before you fly to Canada. Accommodations in ski resorts are always limited, at a premium, and often have long waiting lists, but you don’t have to worry, as your place will already be secured in the summer.
After your first 3 weeks of training and living in the hotel, you’ll move straight into staff lodging, and it’s at that point you’ll start paying for your own rent and food. Rent is usually around $23 to $24 CAD per day, or $690 to $750 per month.
If you are planning on upgrading to level 2 training in January, we recommend saving up a month's rent and food before the course, as you won't be able to work as much when you are skiing (training) all day, 5 days a week!
IEC visa
As there is a guaranteed job offer, you’ll need a work permit and/or the legal right to work in Canada. Our in-house visa expert will support you through your application.
We have 15 years of experience helping people with their visa, and decades of sorting out our own (we are all instructors too!).
