Hello, TMH, and welcome to the BE forum.
Read Quick Guide to Canadian Immigration.
Then read Quick Job Hunting Instructions.
I don't know where in Canada you went skiing, but here is some information on skiing locations.
In BE there are ski slopes in or near:
In Alberta there are ski slopes in or near:
But you can't live in Banff, Lake Louise, or Jasper, because they're located inside national parks.
Calgary is a good enough location for accessing Kananaskis Country, Banff and Lake Louise on weekends.
The town that is closest to Banff National Park, while still being outside the national park, is Canmore.
Hope that helps.
