How As A Ski Instructor

By George Dodson


Winter and Fall mean the change in seasons when the weather gets colder, trees lose their leaves, and people engage in winter sports. Estimates are that 10 to 12 percent of the population of the U.S., head for the nearest slopes, to take in some skiing, and snowboarding. For some it is their first time and they need some instruction. If you are a quality skier and want to teach the sport you love, you have a great opportunity as a coach.

How do you find a job as a ski instructor? You will have to ask yourself about your budget at first. How much do I think I might have to spend to find a job as a ski instructor? I can get the information on the internet but is it required to travel? How far do I need to travel to give the interview? How much do I need to spend for my resume? How much more money needs to be spent for the season? There are instructors who spend around 150 days on the slopes during the peak seasons. Asking these questions in the beginning, saves you time unnecessary delays when you are seeking a job as a ski instructor.

The second question is to decide where you want to go? Do I want to stay in country I'm in, or go somewhere else, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, or Europe?

Third, get some opinions from others you know and trust, about where to look, who to contact, how they got their job, etc. These people have vast knowledge about the profession and can be of great help for you. That can really help in eliminating some sources that just won't work for you or that are too far away.

Getting a ski instructor's certification will also be great. That will definitely help your chances when you are looking at an employment application. You can collect information regarding places from where you can get official recognition in the internet. Organizations like PSIA, BASI, or CSIA can truly be of big help.

These skiing tips will surely help you get a job. In no time you can make a place for yourself on the slopes and earn a lot of money as well.
