OFFICIAL SNOWTHREAD

You dont need IEP


I just arrived in canada in november (I was living in Banff, which is surrounded by Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay) booked a hostel for 2 weeks and got on the job search.

All of the resorts have application sections on their website's, but they are usually pretty shitty jobs
For some reason I worked as a baker which was alright

Banff has some kind of by-law where every single business has to offer some kind of staff accomodation so as soon as you get a job your accom is set as well. Such a sick party town also

thats oo good conrad... i was just talking to my parents and that is what they siggested, that i go to vancouver and see what resorts i really want to go to, then suss out those area, like whistler for instance. then get a job and work and board etc, then come back when i want to

how much the airafare cost Conrad?

This thread makes me want to cry.

Uhh well I did heaps of travelling before getting to Canada, like I did SE asia then heaps of Europe, THEN finally Canada so it was around $3600 for 6 months worth of flights, but shop around heaps and book waaaay in advance

Also try and sort your job out in advance if possible, it is really competitive over there so experience is a must.

Also it king of sucks being an Australian, we have a really bad reputation from all the fuck wits that go over there to drink and party rather than snowboard, but if your are kind of polite or rip then you should be fine

"it king of sucks being an Australian, we have a really bad reputation from all the fuck wits that go over there to drink and party rather than snowboard"

aint that the truth.... fucking Australian kooks

shit like this makes me cringe.

midnight oil track!

Yeah dude, worst feeling, I basically would apologize for being Australian when people would ask where im from

And they are definetly the majority of tourists in any canadian snow town


Where did you stay Julius?

came across this mass stalefish

thats just a tweaked bs indy

fuck that jump look so much fun!

Conrad i did a season in whistler. heading back here in ausgust hopefully.

where were you at?

grenade skeleton gloves, new for 25 bux. stoked

are they like the 'thinnish' sort of gloves and the print one them is sticky for grip???

oh i want those gloves! Where did you get them?

I was in Banff which is just near Calgary


Fark whistler looks dope, had a few friends their when I left.

Is it like all green and environmentally friendly?

And did you get any chance to go out on a sled?

central board co in greensborough, and yes thas what they are roll, i dont like wearig gloves but i had a few cuts after last season so i got a compromise

should have cut some dishwashing gloves down or worn gardening gloves, when i was in NZ last season, thats what all the park shredders were doing haha i was having a laugh to myself about it

haha, yeah i just got these to protect myself from cuts from edges when grabbing.

Nah Conrad i didn't go sledding. a few of my homies had sleds but i couldn't justify spending 400 bucks on avalanche safety equipment.

and yeh, whats up with new zealanders and wearing gardening gloves?

they new zealander, simple

are they waterproof?

mine? no idea, doubt it. but they be some what water resistant, not really for use in storms, more like nice weather, or not raining dys


i have mittens for the bad days cause i cant just ball my hand up iside them
