We spent two years in Canada on our IEC working holiday visas, including a full winter season in Whistler. Cold chairlifts, goggle tans and far too much hot chocolate: if it happened on a mountain, we probably took a photo of it.
So here are 130+ ski captions for Instagram: short ones, funny ones, ski puns, snowboard captions, powder day captions, après-ski captions, ski trip captions for friends and couples, chairlift and mountain view captions, first time skiing captions, plus emojis and hashtags.

Before you hit the slopes
Most travel insurance policies don’t cover skiing or snowboarding unless you add winter sports cover, so check yours before you go. Doing a ski season on a Canadian working holiday? Our IEC insurance guide includes prices for cover with winter sports.

Ski captions FAQ
What is a good short ski caption? Two or three words work best on a big mountain photo: “Bluebird day.”, “Groomers and grins.”, “Pow-erful stuff.” or “Thin air, big views.”
What should I caption a snowboarding photo? Lean into the sideways life: “Sideways is the only way.”, “Strapped in and stoked.” or “One plank is all I need.” If you fell a lot, “Snowboarding: the art of falling with style.” is always honest.
