Ask the GOAT
Ask anything about ski and snowboard instructor courses in Canada: costs, resorts, visas, wages and qualifications.
What to ask
What The GOAT Knows.
He reads from the same 2026/27 course details our team uses, so ask him the questions you'd feel daft asking on the phone.
Courses and levels
Which course fits your time and ability, and what Level 1, 2 and 3 really involve.
Costs and wages
What's included, what isn't, and what you could earn on a paid internship.
Resorts
Big White, Sun Peaks, Panorama, Revelstoke and Nova Scotia, and which one suits you.
Visas and age
Who can work, who can't, and what's open to you if you're over 35.
Life out there
Rooms, food, kit and what a week actually looks like.
