Last bit of Info...

This outstanding program offers you the opportunity to leave at any point in the year. Enjoy the ultimate winter ski season in a location like Whistler. Once the snow melts, you could stay at the same resort and experience the spring and summer adventure, work at a winery, or move to a different job in a different location.

You can go to Canada in August, work at a winery, then leave to go to your ski season location. We have hotels, bars, and restaurant work. There are so many opportunities all year round for you. Whether you’re learning or an experienced skier or snowboarder, or want a good mix of professional work experience and other adventures during the winter season, we’ll find you the perfect ski season job in Canada to suit your interests.
