Please could someone suggest how I can get employment on the mountain for the rest of this season. I can leave in 2 weeks time, to anywhere in the world. UK resident, in need of a work Visa, but have my Canandian level 2 instructors qualification. I want to ideally come to the US, Canada (taught in Whistler 3 seasons ago) Japan, or anywhere else where it'll be possible to get some work.
Phone numbers of places to contact would be greatly appreciated, any inside knowledge from people who have done a similar thing. Equally would be much appreciated.
Its cold in the UK at the moment - cold enough for it to snow, but the powder isn't well...........its the UK.
Any pointers?

Dear JONG,
So, you want mountain work, but aren't sure what kind. Hmm. You've also got instructors cert. Hmm again. What to do. Sorry, I'm stumped, can't help.
Just in case you figure out what kind of work you want to do, I suggest you think about what kind of places need that kind of employee, and then contact them and ask for a job.
If I come off as smug or self-rightous or arrogant, well, it's because this is the internet and you haven't seen me ski. - Highway Star RIP

Oh yeah, you've got shitall chance of getting a US or Canadian work visa in two weeks btw. Might be better off going for an under-the-table job in some resort somewhere instead.

Maybe TGR needs a non-paid intern for this position...

As a Eurotard, can't you go to any EC country and work? I've heard there is snow in some of those countries.

On second thought....
I doubt you could get a visa for the US. I heard we already admitted our quota of soccer hooligans for the year.
