Hey Jackie! Check out: http://www.rookieacademy.com/steve_smart.html

Steve runs a great program in the summer (our summer) in New Zealand. It’s a fun way to get your 3. New Zealand is also a great place to work or play in our summer.

Alternatively, we really enjoyed Chile – just outside Santiago you get three big mountains with great vertical and terrain. Lots of Canadian and American ski teams train there in July & August.

We’ll be posting / blogging about our experience there in the coming weeks!

I love that you have made a blog like this. I need to learn about working at a ski resort in other countries during our summers. Where does a person start? I am level 2 CSIA and Level 1 CASI with level 1 coaching. I am working on my level 3 now. Again… I think your site is GREAT!

Stefanie – we are in fact both buying new helmets this year!

In Ontario you need them as protection from the general public as the hills get so busy…while out west or in the big mountains we realize that you need to protect your head from the elements…especially when following & chasing Sasha down!

I cant wait to read this!! I am totally with you on your vision and quest in life with regards to skiing, except I have taken it one step further, quit my career as an art director to establish my career as a professional skier in any aspect I can. By the way, where are your helmets??
