Another option is Snow Challenge. Same region of Canada and great training. I went in 2008 and had the time of my life.
When looking at doing an instructor course its important to check to see exactly what is included. How much training is there (can vary from 10 hours to 33 hours a week), what qualifications have the coaches got, what exam fees are included (level 1 and two or just level 1?) what extras do you have to pay for? Most courses include some shadowing of lessons – check to see if it is ‘shadowing’ or is it ‘unpaid labour’.
You should also see if it is possible to stay on after the course and do some real teaching, this is much more valuable on your CV than just having paid to do a course.
