** All tertiary students.  There has been a change in the rules.  The US Government has advised that all South African students are only allowed to work in the USA from 30 Oct 2012 to 15 Feb 2013.  This means that the availability of jobs on ski resorts will be limited.

The J-1 Work/Travel program gives full-time students the chance to experience a new culture and travel to a different country during their December holiday.

Visa Info

The J1 visa is a student visa which is valid for a period of 3 and a half months, with an additional maximum period of thirty days after expiration available to travel before you will need to be out of the country.
The visa can be obtained as many times as you like, provided that you can show sufficient written proof that you are still a student.

Cost

More Info

Normal travel insurance is included in the above program fees, but those fortunate enough to secure jobs at ski resorts need to take out additional insurance at an additional cost (approx $80). Premium placements are "special placements" that are well sought after and should you choose a premium placement, it may in some cases already include ski insurance. These options depends on what is available.
