I think its only Europe where you can work while on holiday as such, pretty sure you cant do anything apart from play whilst we are there, which isnt bad of course  Not 100 % sure though, but i think thats the case. |

Qantas does return Bris to Vanc (and that's going via Syd) for about AU2500 thats the way I go. You should check Air Canada. They started offering the trip as from this month (May). Another option is to check Air NZ.
Hope this helps

Are you flying Australia-Vancouver-Kelowna? Just meet everyone at Vancouver airport, saves on the flight to Kelowna.
(I am assuming thats what you mean lol ) |

You should book your flight to arrive in Vancouver a few hours before the crew arrives from great britain. (and leave a couple hours after going home) then you hook up with Phil and the crew and ride the bus to big white. this is covered in the costs. You only get the cost of the air fares taken off the price when you have to book your own air fares from Australia or anywhere else for that matter.
If for some reason you want to fly to Kelowna.Westjet does it for about 100 bucks canadian each way. then it's about CA$50 each way for the B.W. shuttle (which has to be booked through the resort)
have fun |

| So if you fly to Kelowna, do you spend 3 hours just waiting at BW? Or meet representitive? Anyone got further info if you fly the whole way? |

| You would have to check with Phil and S/skool to find out what the agender is. |

| hello everyone, I am thinking of going to Big White this csoming season and just wondered if anyone has done it before and can say how they felt during and after doing the course. I'm so excited about finally getting off my office dwelling ass and getting my ski instructor qualifications is my dream job that I don't seem to be able to concentrate properly... (BTW i'm a skier who loves to board in her spare time). |

Hi guys
Good to see the forum action picking up speed once again. To answer a few questions.
Slothy - Welcome mate. To answer your question about flying directly to Kelowna, we will make sure a SnowSkool rep will be on hand to meet any of our students flying from across the pond.
Cass - Welcome also. It would be unfair of me to big up how the Big White course opperates and how much our students get out of it. However plenty of the guys from last season come on here to offer out advice. Trev/Geoff/Russ etc can you help me out on this one.
BTW - Flying to NZ on 9th July!!! Bring on the snow. |
