Dual Discipline Internship with Guaranteed Job

Panorama: enjoys regular snowfall over four months, which delivers light, dry powder. As a result, skiers and snowboarders can ski extensive vertical, tree-lined areas and powder bowls from early December to mid-April. That includes beginner and intermediate trails, epic double-black diamond zones, and the Rockstar terrain park if it’s good enough for RedBull and the Junior World Championships it’s good enough for us!

Hidden Valley: It gets the cold winter systems rolling across the interior and giving Hidden Valley a generous blanket of snow that gets topped up throughout the season until the end of March. It has 65 acres of terrain, 17 runs and 2km being the longest run, it’s certainly not the biggest on the scene, but the charm of the place is enough to bring families, school groups and interns returning for the following season.
