OWH staff
Canada is an amazing destination, and OWH's working holiday program offers you the opportunity to take on some of the best mountains in the World! While your friends have been thinking about sandy beaches and barbeques, have you been fantasising about your snowboard cutting through Champagne powder, your sunnies reflecting the clear, pristine run in front of you and the feeling of knowing you are having a once in a lifetime adventure?
Spend an absolutely amazing six months in the ski fields, working in Canada, and truly "experience" the people, the unique beauty and the adrenaline rush that you can only get from this country.
OWH's Work & Ski Canada program, make all of this possible by pre-arranging a job for you in some of Canada's top resorts - all before you leave Australia or the UK!
There is no need to tromp all the way to Canada to take your chances with thousands of others anxious to get those highly coveted resort jobs. You choose which resort and which job type suits you and we bring the Canadian resort representative to your door months before the winter season gets underway! Fancy working in Whistler, Big White, Nakiska, Banff, Silver Star or Lake Louise? Well OWH can make it happen with this fantastic program. Once you apply we will step you through all you need to be successful in securing your job in a Canadian resort. You'll be interviewed in Australia for your job and we'll have your start date and full information about life in Canada to you before you leave home, making this one of the best programs for the working holiday maker. If you are travelling with friends we can try to place you in the same resort - no worries! Once you have your job, you can concentrate on saving for your new board or skis and planning your amazing adventure. So apply for your visa, grab your winter warmers and get the job of your life in Canada!
Not a snow bunny? If you are not a snow worshipper, don't panic. We have plenty of jobs to make sure that you get to enjoy the atmosphere and fun of working and living in Canada, so you can learn to ski or board at your own pace or just enjoy the parties! Alternatively if you prefer the sun, check out our Work & Play Canada Summer program.

Hi, Just searching through my emails and I found one from OWH so I thought Id reply and say thankyou for giving me the opportunity to meet the best friends I've ever had.

Well i am now settled in really well, i love the snow and i love the cold weather. I'im learning how to snowboard and getting really good now. i went to Calagary recently for a pro hockey match between Calagary flames and the Colorado Avalanches it was heaps of fun, there was a fight within 3 minutes of the game starting.

Hi Lisa, Thankyou sooooooo much for all the help you gave us when organising our trip, it has made life so easy over here. The transition into Whistler was great and it also gave us a base of people who we knew the fall back to. Not that its hard to make friends over here, everyone is great and heaps of fun. I've taken a second job to support my partying habits which have been pretty extreme, Whistler is awesome of a night life. Everyone I've met here are heaps of fun. I've possibly made some of the best friends ever. I'm going to stay around for a little while longer and work a summer camp before heading over to England.
Thanks heaps Lisa, love Carolyn"
how are ya?? Canada is AWESOME!!!!!! Kick start has defiantly been the highlight. Not sure if you knew but we joined a moose tour so we got to hang out with some people from other countries... lets just say... the night with the Mexicans... where i got a bottle of Vodka a bottle of 7UP a bottle of Water a 725ML Canadian Larger and some chewy for $20 was prob the best.. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. WE SAW A BEAR!!! it was on the side of the road!!! how exciting. We have been in Lake Louise for
3 nights now and its been really nice... the Lake is Amazing - got some awesome footage on our camera!!
