What It’s Really Like Doing the EA Ski and Snowboard Training Instructor Internship: Wilf and Lode’s Story

‍

Thinking about becoming a ski or snowboard instructor? Wilf & Lode spill the beans on what it’s really like doing the EA Ski and Snowboard Instructor Internship in Revelstoke, Canada.

‍

From Intermediate to Charging the Whole Mountain – Wilf’s Journey

Wilf arrived in Revelstoke as a solid intermediate skier — comfortable on blues, maybe dabbling on a black if the snow was soft. A few months later?

💬 “I feel comfortable everywhere on the mountain now. Even on some seriously challenging terrain.”

That confidence boost didn’t happen by accident. The EA Ski and Snowboard Training Internship set him up with Level 1 and Level 2 training, led by world-class instructors — we’re talking former athletes and elite trainers who know how to fine-tune your skiing, not just shout tips from the lift.

“The training has been next level. They really break down your technique, fix bad habits, and help you progress fast.”

Lode’s Take: Coaching, Community & A Career Move

Lode loved the teaching side of the internship. Thanks to EA’s guaranteed job offer, he went straight from training into the ski school — no job-hunting, no waiting around.

💬 “We’ve had loads of work,” he says. “Working with the kids, seeing them improve — it’s honestly been so rewarding.”

From day one, you're getting real-world experience — teaching, earning, and becoming part of the local ski community.

And the best part? There’s still time to shred.

“There’s a great balance,” says Lode. “We train, we teach — but we also ski a ton.”

Life Outside the Training

This isn’t just a ski or snowboard course — it’s a lifestyle. Powder days. New mates. Après beers. That small-town mountain buzz.

💬 “The powder in Revelstoke is insane,” says Lode. “Best snow I’ve ever skied.”

Between structured training and free time to ride, the EA Ski and Snowboard Training program gives you that perfect balance of professional development and pure stoke.
