Q U A L I F I C A T I O N S

FA Q

It is possible to take the Level 3 CSIA Exam at the end of this course,

if the individual on the course is prepared and at the level required.

Ask one of our Basecamp team members who will be able to point

you in the right direction with this.

What will I get paid?

Around $13 an hour - 6 hours a day (can expect a minimum of

around $1700)

Whats a days training?

10:30 - 4:00

How much work will I be doing?

Two days work minimum, but often more days work are available

Can I get a second job at the same time?

Its is not advised, it means you wont have the flexibility required for

the ski school. If you need as much work as possible it is better that

you seek additional employment from Lake Louise, there are plenty

of other opportunities within the resort.

scenery with uniquely amazing terrain, a perfect environment for

instructor or performance coaching. The area boasts 4200 acres of

season. Combined, these three resorts offer almost 8,000 acres of

skiable terrain with an average of 33ft of dry, light snow in Sunshine

I really enjoyed the 11 week snowboardcourse in Banff. The coaching was fantastic-

my riding improved so much more than Iexpected. Lake Louise is also a great resort -

I was finding new lines throughout the season.

Finally, Banff was such a fun place to stay.

The nightlife, restaurants and activities all

made the season a truly memorable one.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting

to do a season.
