1 month in Whistler
Hi,
Two questions in the same post : - What to do in order to be a snowboarding instructor in the US or in Canada ? Here in France, you need to pass the test of ski instructor (a bit paradoxal, and not likely to change). Moreover it is time consuming and expensive. Have you heard of foreigners getting that kind of job (especially non native english speaker) ? - Second question, I might have one month to lose next winter and I'm considering going to Whistler. Do you have any idea of the minimal budget I would need ? (ski pass for one month and accomodation in a youth hostel...). Thanks, DG |

Just my opinion but if you care at all about the quality of the snow during
your month long stay, you should consider a Rocky Mt area..Jackson Hole, for instance... If you just want to be in a place that has great off slope entertainment, then Whistler is a good choice. Good Luck! "Doc G." wrote in message - Second question, I might have one month to lose next winter and I'm considering going to Whistler. Do you have any idea of the minimal budget I would need ?

It's mostly 5 star hotels and restaurants, the bars tended to be small. And anyone going to Whistler should bring plenty of money, it;s one of the most expensive resorts. I'd recommend Summit County Colorado. There you have Breckenridge, Copper, A-Basin, nearby and Vail is a 45 min ride. These are among the best you will find anywhere. They have a good bus system, nightlife and much more reasonable prices for lodging, food, lift tickets, etc. |
