ESL (English) Teacher wants Snow Action!

[snowman 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I am an ESL teacher and I'm hoping to combine teaching English with hitting the slopes in Japan this winter.

 

I'm hoping some of you can recommend specific English language schools and mountain resorts - ideally very close each other!

 

I'm not so hardcore that I want to live in the middle of nowhere - a compromise between urban and backcountry life would be a winning combination! (if that is possible...in the end I'd prefer fresh pow to endless suburban sprawl...)

 

If you can pass me e-mail addresses and URLS I'd be very grateful!

 

Thanks for any advice!

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

if your still young enough to get a working holiday visa you can slide over here and look.

 

Jobs are easier to come by if your here.

 

Or look at gaijin pot, kansai flea market. kansai and kanto now mags, tokyo message board mag.

 

Goodluck.

sorry to hijack your thread, but i saw that you were in toronto.

 

i just moved to toronto, can you recommend anywhere around here? i dont drive so id be doing it all by train/bus and on weekends. everyone is saying blue mountain is the easiest, any other recommendations would be grand.

 

thanks

I horseshoe is like 300 vertical feet.

 

Mountsaint louie moonstone 400 feet.

 

If you can get into the clubs osler and etc then they are the best.

 

Blue is by far the best that ontario has open to the public.

 

Take a bus trip to jay peak vermount for powder.

I think the best thing is to just get here, then get to the mountains, then get the job. You will more than likely be able to, but its difficult doing it from over there, tokyo even.

If anyone can tell me how please....

powder would be preferred!
