Practicum Applications
Throughout the season, we offer a limited number of spaces for those training to become a certified CSGA & ACMG guide. This volunteer position involves active observation and participation in our daily guiding operations. When not skiing with the groups, there are a variety of other operational tasks to assist with. Applicants need to hold a minimum qualification of Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) Avalanche Operations Level 1 and a current 80-hour first aid course. Due to the high number of applications we receive, only those short-listed for a position will be contacted.
The application process is open from May 1 – August 31 each summer for the upcoming winter. Applications get reviewed in September. Candidates are required to apply each year they are interested in joining us, with updated information on their experience, skillset, and where they are at in the CSGA or ACMG Ski Guide program (e.g. not interested in applying/ considering applying/ applying next year/ applied but need more experience/ applied/ accepted into the program).
Skeena has about 25 lodge trips per season that practicums can join. We try to give each practicum two trips, which amounts to a full week of experience. The exchange days are Tuesday and Saturday.
