Of the British Columbia ski resort towns, Revelstoke is the small, but lively, locals town packed with cool little bars and great music scene. You'll meet some gnarly skiers and boarders here! Less touristy than other spots, Revelstoke is a great place to use as a base and travel to other amazing resorts nearby such as Kicking Horse in Golden. As Revelstoke is well known as an iconic freeride destination and generally quite a high level resort, beginner lessons which form the base of work for a first season instructor are a little quieter than some other resorts. As a result you can expect to have good work opportunities during the holiday weeks, with the quieter non-holiday weeks containing a mix of training towards the level 2 and some part time work when available, alongside that epic freeriding experience you're heading there for!
