Become a qualified ski instructor & teach in the same season

I spent my winter season working for whistler ski school support staff and loved it. The accommodation was basic but it doesn’t matter cause whistler is an amazing place not only for skiing but also socially.

My time as a ski instructor for children was nothing short of amazing, as it proved to be a transformative journey both personally and professionally. Guiding young enthusiasts through the thrilling world of skiing was not just a job but a joyous adventure filled with laughter, excitement, and boundless energy. Witnessing the sheer delight on the faces of children as they conquered the slopes and developed a love for the sport was incredibly rewarding. As I dedicated myself to imparting not only skiing skills but also fostering a sense of confidence and camaraderie among the kids, I found my own passion for teaching flourishing. The experience was further elevated by the fact that I successfully my CSIA level 2 during this time. Each day on the slopes was a testament to the power of shared enthusiasm and the profound impact that positive mentorship can have on young minds, making my time as a ski instructor an unforgettable chapter in my life.

This trip was so much fun. You meet all of the other "oysters" in the airport and travel together meaning you sort of arrive with a few friends. oyster organise transport up to the resort and help you get set up with everything you need (E.G. SIN numbers and a bank account) they also guarantee staff housing which is so important in Whistler as it is hard to come by on your own. we all lived on the same corridor and got along so well. your living with like-minded people all working similar hours to you so you're never far away from a friend that wants to go skiing. If your working in Blackcomb or Whistler you get to ski to and from work, (for creekside workers its a short bus ride away). you'll meet people from all around the world and won't want to leave. Of the 30 oysters that went out my year, the majority are planning on returning to use the second year of our visas
