Staff accommodation is payable by the intern, usually on a bi-weekly basis once in the resort.

Panorama

Panorama is a hidden gem of a resort – an Alpine-style, ski-in-ski-out hideaway deep in British Columbia’s Purcell mountains. In 2020-2021 Panorama ranked top globally for the most space per skier. Put it this way there are 3000 beds in the resort and 3000 skiable acres (we’ll let you do the maths), meaning you never have to worry about overcrowded runs. Panorama has a village feel, but it’s far from sleepy.

There is a vast ski area and varied terrain on offer. It includes one of the most significant vertical drops in North America. The powder heaven is The Taynton Bowl – there’s enough to keep your adventure going for months, no matter your level.

If the Taynton Bowl isn’t enough, you can head to the Extreme Dream Zone. This is located on the front side of the Taynton Bowl and is all double black diamond terrain, with tight trees and big moguls. And not forgetting Wild Thing – Panorama’s longest trail at 6.5km long that leads back into the Village.

Then there’s The Rockstar Terrain Park, 1km long with over 6 acres of terrain. Rockstar is littered with massive jumps, tabletops, kickers, boxes and rails. The park is located off the Mile 1 express on Horse Shoe.

 

Hidden Valley

A small resort in the Cypress Hills Provincial Park near Elkwater, Alberta, this is a local’s ski hill. The Alberta provincial government owns and operates Hidden Valley and is open 5 days a week. You’ll live and work with like-minded people. Since the resort is closed two days a week, you’ll have the chance to explore as a group in other areas in Alberta, like Castle Mountain, to get that big mountain fix.

You’ll live in the small community of Elkwater, a short drive from Hidden Valley. Elkwater has a simple cafe, a restaurant in the hotel, a convenience store, and a village hall with a Pool table, a Fuzzball table, wifi, and games located in Cypress Hills lakes’ pretty surroundings parks.

You’ll soon be considered a local, and will benefit from the spirit of small-community living, easily finding ride-shares to the nearby city of Medicine Hat, where there are plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and a cinema.

Owned and operated by Alberta Parks, Hidden Valley employees benefit from a high wage and regular hours. You are guaranteed a minimum of 24 hours a week of work, and at peak times, you will get 30.

Level 1 instructors at Hidden Valley are likely to earn more per hour as Alberta Parks currently own the resort. The latter has a higher minimum wage of around $18 per hour. You will also enjoy benefits such as complimentary lift passes for other alternatives (Castle Mountain) and further training opportunities.

Hidden Valley interns train for their CSIA level 1 at Panorama. Once qualified, they are transferred to Hidden Valley for 13 weeks in mid-December. Further training is available at Hidden Valley. On your return to Panorama at the end of the season, you will receive a dedicated eight days of Level 2 training and the opportunity to take your Level 2 exam. If you are a snowboarder, there’s an excellent chance you will get your Level 1 ski, too, for free! 

 

If it’s one thing we want you to do. It’s to stay fuelled up. Our slopeside accommodation has kitchenettes as a minimum standard offering, allowing you to cook for yourself if you don’t want to go out. We get it. Sometimes it’s nice to just relax and order a pizza or make yourself a big bowl of pasta and catch up on some Netflix. Regardless of your culinary skills, there are plenty of places to eat out in Sunpeaks village. Or, if you are over at Panorama, the free shuttle can take you to one of the eateries in Invermere. Whether you’re a vegetarian*, meat fiend, spice lover, or want something simple, there’s something for everyone.

*Please say if you have dietary requirements as we can advise which venue is best for you. Want to know what to budget? Then ask for a callback. We can give you a thorough idea of what you will spend throughout your season in Canada, along with all your living costs and the odd necessary cold beer after a hard day on the slopes.

“The Snowboard Instructors internship program at panorama is probably one of the best choices I have ever made. It’s a fantastic adventure and experience.” – Sylvian Lachance

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So picture this. Powder days in Tayton Bowl laying down some of the first tracks on untouched runs. People from all over the world brought together by a well deserved Jug of “hit the deck” at the end of the day. Some questionable decisions and late nights on the dance floor ! Breakfast buns and a coffee from the summit hut to keep you going the next day. As Rik would say. Feeling Olympic today ! The Winter Sports Company brought us all together and will always be cherished for inspiring confidence , forming friendships and sharing memories. Say Cheese and strike your pose. It’s your turn next.” –

"EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS !"

Chiara Lyn - 21 Jul 2021

"Lets talk customer service for a second ! The Winter Sports company is by far the most admirable company I have had the opportunity to work with. The team by definition is what you would expect. Patient , reliable and extremely informative."

Bolt On Courses

The Bolt-ons are the point where you can turn your already stellar winter season into something truly unforgettable. Whilst some are devised to improve your CV, some enhance your smile. The Heliski experience will have you grinning from ear to ear all the way back home through your front door. So decide what is critical for you, an adrenaline ride, gap year, career-breaking, mid-life crisis-soothing adventure? Or something that will put another few dollars on your wages and make your instructor resume stand out?

These are ancillary offerings to our clients once onboarded. It is a simple, transparent method so you can cherry-pick what you want and, more importantly, not be forced into paying over the odds for something you do not want.

Monster Cat X

Cat skiing is a form of backcountry exploration, taking you away from the borders of controlled ski areas to ride through untouched powder. Take a ride to the top of The Taynton Bowl at Panorama Mountain Resort.

Sled Mobile

Enhance your CV and give the resort director another reason to hire you. Opportunity to gain your BCSF smart sledding course certificate and use it for future employment, or just enjoy a great day out on the neighbouring mountain getting to grips with your sled and enjoying aBBQ lunch up on the mountain lodge.

Nordic Skiing

The silence of the wilderness and the almost spiritual experience of gliding through a winter world leaving nothing but tracks in the snow is an irresistible combination.

Entry Level Race Coach

ACA-CSC coach education program links directly with Alpine Canada's Long Term Athlete Development stages of growth and skill development. At each program level, coaches acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the athlete's growth and skill development needs. During the course, you will learn how to reduce the risk of accidents and how to coach ski racers. This course promotes continuous improvement and life-long learning for coaches and coaching excellence at every level in the Canadian development system. Race Coaching ACA-CSC.

NUEC I (Level 2)- Emergency Response First Aid

The two or four-day first aid course will provide the necessary training for those working in remote areas giving them the knowledge and skills to evaluate medical emergencies, decide the best course of action and triage, treat and evacuate the patient. Perfect for those working as instructors, guides, safety patrollers, and forestry. Topics will include but are not limited to life-limb-threatening injuries, CPR, survival skills, critical decision-making, stretcher use and other common scenarios experienced in these industries. Great to have on your CV and a fantastic introductory skill set for becoming a ski patroller or backcountry guide aiming for their NUEC Level 3.

Paragliding

We offer a serene experience; you'll get to experience Panorama from a completely different perspective. You can take off from 2 different spots (depending on the weather conditions). Summit takeoff gives you an 1110 m or 3650 ft flight height difference, and Champagne Express takeoff is 770 m or 2560 ft flight height difference. You will then land at the bottom of Little Dipper, where your pilot will teach you how to roll the Parachute back up safely. They also provide a camera you can hold to film your adventure, so bring a storage chip to put in it!

Sled Mobile

With over 32,000 acres of terrain, experience the exhilarating feeling of driving a sled mobile. Make your cv shine & take your BCSF certification online prior to taking the experience if you want to gain a certificate. Practice handling your new sled in the snow field, then you head up to the Silver mining town remnants at 8000ft up at the top of the mountain, stunning views of Panorama, old-growth forests, spectacular icefalls and lots of free time blasting around the open bowl with your friends. Fuel up with a mountain-size lunch in the cosy cabin and then head down back to base.

Banff Blow Off

It's not Ibiza, admittedly, but it's a great vibe and the best that the infamous Banff can offer. One night and two days on the slopes of the big mountains surrounding the iconic Banff town. Includes accommodation, transport, and lift passes. Relax and take some time out from Panorama, do some shopping, and get up on the big mountain of Sunshine, Lake Louise or Norquay. Then put your party face on and have a big night out with your mates before calling it a day and heading back to HQ. This either happens after your exams or at the end of your winter season.  

Ice Skating the Worlds Longest Trail

Enjoy a skate with your pals on the Biggest Lake trail in the World, according to the Guinness Book of Records! Armed with a bbq, burgers, beers,  tunes, hockey sticks and a bunch of your friends. A great day out just cruising around doing something different for the day, or for those wanting a more physical challenge, then why don't you attempt the full 35km skate ring around the lake?

Ice Hockey Match

Watching ice hockey is a must for anyone spending significant time in Canada. As the national sport, you'll be hard-pressed to avoid it. It is on screens in bars and restaurants everywhere you turn! So, as a group, we will take a bus trip down to watch the game and get a bite to eat. It will be a fun night out that you won't want to miss! This is organized in the resort, and if you are in Panorama or Revelstoke, it's a weekly event. If you are at Sun Peaks, it's a once or twice a season event. Check out a previous Ice Hockey trip. 

Heli Ski Trip

Heli-skiing is, quite simply put, the ultimate off-piste experience - perfect for freeskiers/riders, thrill-seekers and powder lovers. The adrenaline rush as you board the helicopter is nothing compared to the breathtaking views as you fly over the mountains. 3-5 runs into pristine powder fields. It's enough to put a grin on your face for months. Ultimate bragging rights. Make sure you take a Go-pro or pay for extra footage. Equipment is included, but make sure you have insurance to cover you. Extra insurance can be arranged. Sun Peaks clients must do the Revelstoke trip to do this.

First Tracks & Best Bits

You could spend all season in the resort and still miss these little gems. Your guide for the day knows every nook and cranny of the mountain. This is a non-training day, but by the end of it, you will know all the local knowledge on every section of the mountain. Knowing which slopes are best in certain conditions. Knowing what the local dangers or difficulties are in each area of the mountain. Finding the best runs through the trees. It's best done early in your programme so that you can get the most out of your time in the resort armed with a new sense of your surroundings. There is no better way to start the day than as VIPs and being the first ones up the lift for some First Tracks.

Ski & Board Tech Tips

Learn how to get the most out of your equipment from the pros. An evening in the workshop. Makes a great present for someone and gives them the knowledge on how to look after their equipment, tune it for the conditions and cover the overall safety aspects of your settings.

Steep n Deep at Revelstoke

It has the highest vertical in Canada and is consistently voted in the top #3 as the best resort in Canada. A must-see alternative for all those wanting to experience industrial amounts of snow, steep exciting terrain and incredible backcountry terrain. It's hard not to fall in love with the place; we will think you'll agree. It is a great place to spend with your feet up and relax on those days off, with grand entertainment areas, comfortable bedrooms, spacious bathrooms, a jacuzzi on the balcony, log fireplaces and plenty of storage. Choose between the lodge or the hostel. Either way, it's a real once-in-a-lifetime venue. Includes accommodation for three nights, three days. Transport to and from Revelstoke & Lift passes for three days of some unforgettable skiing/riding.  

Off-Piste Tactical Training

It includes a basic understanding of the terrain's pitfalls and how to choose a successful track, taking into account the local dangers.

Touch down in Canada and start training straight away. You’ll spend three weeks with CASI pro-instructors who will coach you toward becoming a CASI level 1 instructor. During this time you will stay in hotel accommodation with fellow trainees. This is the beginning of working and living in a resort.

Expect to quickly make friends with the locals and become part of resort life. After the CASI Level 1 exam in mid-December, qualified interns will be offered full-time paid employment with the Snow School for up to 16 weeks. Then, as you complete the Winter Sports Company training programme, you’ll move into your new digs at staff accommodation and become part of a professional on-snow team for the rest of the season.

Snowboard instructor interns have a real job with the Snow School, gaining valuable on-snow teaching experience. The work varies, from teaching children on the bunny hill to beginner adults and some all mountain teaching. You’ll be encouraged to continue your self-development and train towards level 2 around working hours. Most interns complete the season as CASI level 2 instructors.

Applications are now being taken for our snowboard instructor internships. As long as your country participates in the IEC program, there is no restriction on nationality to apply for an internship – all we require is you to have the right experience and the right to work in Canada.
