An amazing experience!!!
by: Kayleigh Falconer - AustraliaProgram: Winter Gap Year - Become a Ski or Snowboard Instructor!The Slopes at Castle Mountain Resort in Alberta are of great quality!

by: Sam Smith - JapanProgram: Winter Gap Year - Become a Ski or Snowboard Instructor!Though I've had a great time in Japan meeting great people and getting the opportunity to ski amazing powder I don't feel as if I got what I paid for. Though I have thoroughly enjoyed ski instructing in the few months I've been here I was less to believe I'd have work and accommodation November through April. In reality though mine and the majority of the EA staffs contracts have not been extended due to lack of work available. I now can not afford to stay in japan until the date of my fligh...
