Ben Surette
CSIA Level IV, CSIA Level II Course Conductor, ACA Level II, CADS Certified
Ben’s passion for skiing began at the age of 14. He hung up the hockey skates and joined the local ski racing team the following year. After a few seasons on the race circuit, he embarked on his ski teaching/coaching career. After 7 years of touring the country and teaching skiing full time at various resorts, Ben achieved his goal of obtaining the prestigious and world recognized CSIA Level IV.
With a focus on personal and professional development, Ben then embarked on his educational pursuit and obtained his finance degree shortly after the Level IV. During the ‘study years’, Ben’s passion for skiing kept him travelling around Atlantic Canada conducting CSIA courses, employed as a ski school technical director/staff trainer, coaching several race teams, and spending as much time on snow as possible.
These days, Ben maintains his involvement in the ski industry, coaching Masters Maritimes Camps and other adult ski improvement camps in western Canada, a CSIA course conductor, and training his 2 teenage ski fanatics.
Off-seasons are very active. You’ll often find Ben enhancing his enduro mountain bike skills in Wentworth, competing in various enduro mountain bike events, dirt bike riding in northern NS, windsurfing on the Northumberland Strait, and exploring the unknown by SUP.
Ben’s ‘real world’ time is spent with his family, as a member of the Board of Directors for Waterski Wakeboard NS, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Wentworth Mountain Bike Association. Ben is also the owner of Mount Logan Wealth & Estate Counsel Inc.
