Replying to Moving to bc for a year?

Hey there!

I live in Austria and now I am about to graduate from school.
I am interested in doing some sort of gap year so I can ski in a different part of ther world. As I was looking through places that came to mind, I stumbled across whistler and man I am hooked. I am posting this here because I wondered if people have any experiences in doing that kind of stuff that they want to share. Also I have to say that I am doing a school with special focus on metallurgy which I hope might be helpful to finding a job abroad for my year. It's still more than one and a half year until I am done with everything so I am not fixed on anything. Maybe there are also some places other people would recommend going to?
