Instructor Time Commitment
Our ski school runs 9 consecutive weeks with a break around the February holidays.
We ask that instructors pick at least one day (Fri PM, Sat or Sun) and commit to teaching the full 9 weeks
(barring extenuating circumstances such as illness), as you will likely have the same students for the duration of the season (unless there is a major skill issue). Each extra day committed to add to your hourly pay!
We also require instructors to go through our instructor training program.
We require 1st through 3rd year instructors to attend a minimum of 4x clinics per year.

Fri PM requires 3 hours of time commitment (roughly 6:15p-9:15p). Sat/Sun require 5 paid hours, with an hour lunch break (9:15a-3:15p w/ break from 12-1p).
If you commit to teaching at least one day, your child/ren would be guaranteed a space at a discount for youth lessons on the day that you teach.
