Nonstop Ski Gap Program Course Host

Job Description

Would you inspire our international skiers to embrace and get the most out of the Banff mountain lifestyle?
You are someone with a contagious, positive, enthusiastic attitude who likes to inspire people to try all the fun things the mountains have to offer. This job, at its core, shows people what life in Banff is all about: friends, a great community, and an active lifestyle.
As a host of the Holiday and 11 week instructor programs, you are the face of Nonstop Ski and the main go-to person for your clients. Get to know them at daily meals, check how they are doing by dropping in on lessons, lead and coordinate midweek events, and take them on weekend outings. You will be the one they trust to call when they have an emergency or an issue because you know how to get things done and resolve issues. Your snow school and outdoor leadership experience gives you the confidence to lead any group and fires people up to live an outdoor lifestyle. You are their role model and cheerleader in equal parts all while showing them the magic of the mountains.
Your average day is anything but average. Depending on the day, expect to lead a hike, be a street hockey ref, or defuse roommate tensions. Maybe next week you will be hosting a trip to another ski resort or organizing a volunteer event. Every day you will be a problem solver, photographer and a best friend. You are organized and like to have a plan in place but at the same time can think on your feet and roll with the punches when hiccups happen. You are the type of person who loves getting involved in community events and taking advantage of all that Banff has to offer. To you, organizing 50 more people to join seems like no big deal! You know your way around the Microsoft suite and can make an excel spreadsheet in the blink of an eye.
This job is part camp counselor, part logistics liaison, and part RA – it is fun, fast-paced, rewarding, and at times exhausting. If you work well in a team setting, want to fix people’s problems, and get a rush out of wowing every client then this is the job for you.
In addition to a competitive salary you will receive a free season’s pass, some free meals and a ski jacket. The split shift schedule allows for ski breaks and you will get to participate in many of the Nonstop activities. This is a full time seasonal position.
Note, we will only consider applicants who have Canadian work visa (or are Canadian), know the Banff area, and have some ski or snowboard teaching experience/ qualifications.
