“I’m going to Lake Louise Ski Resort in Canada this winter"
There is perhaps no sentence for a skier or snowboarder that comes laden with so much hope, expectation, adrenaline and froth!
Imagine waking up in the Canadian Rockies each day, clicking your skis up and heading out to work with some of the friendliest people on the planet. During your lunch break, you could hit the park or bound through chest-deep powder in legendary terrain. Lake Louise is the holy grail for many ski & snowboard instructors.

As a location on the Freeride World tour qualifier series and the FIS alpine ski world cup circuit, Lake Louise is perfect if you want to push your riding to the limits! They also have 5 terrain parks to test for those park rats. Lake Louise village is a fairly remote and sleepy town with one bar and a bakery making up the main village. However, the famous alpine town of Banff is only 45 minutes away where you will find one of the liveliest après scenes in North America! It's the best of both worlds
We caught up with Zac Anderson who did a course with EA Ski & Snowboard Training at Lake Louise. Skiing has taken him across the world to Finland, Australia, and Switzerland. Read his story HERE

"I'd highly recommend Lake Louise to become a ski instructor. There is so much to do in Banff and you’ll never get bored. We also get an employee lift pass which gives us access to several other mountains nearby we can ski on our days off for free. The amount you save on lift passes and the training you have access to is incredible value for money. You can go out with a Level 4 instructor every day of the week to improve your skiing"
