Become an instructor

Our staff are individuals who thrive in the outdoors, and love the mountains. We are looking for people who share in this passion, maybe for a season, or maybe as part of an exciting career!

We are excited to be offering an Adaptive Snowsport Instructor certification course this year! 

The aim of Canadian Adaptive Snowsports (CADS) is to give people living with disabilities the opportunity to eliminate barriers that have prevented them in experiencing the Joy and Freedom of Snowsports. Not only in a fun and inclusive environment that embraces diversity but in an accessible community that treats each individual with respect.
