Exactly as it sounds.
I took the ITC (instructor training course) at my local hill. I want to continue the learning I’ve done in seasonal group and I think the community and education dept at my local hill is a really fine one. So I’m looking to join to further my own skiing and learning but also feel that I’m giving back. I know it is a job and can be a slog especially when they hand you 8-12 kids ages 6-8 or ages 8-12. Regardless that’s a lotta kids! They’re desperate for instructors and I’m hoping I will like it.
Can you tell me the good? The bad? The ugly?
I will be teaching both snowboarding and skiing as I’m advanced in both now (uh not expert, but trying to get there).
I was told I might make $1.50 more bc I’m flex and can work both if needed. I’m guessing they’ll need more snowboard instructors bc they are always short on snowboard instructors.
I am also looking to do my level 1 and child specialist within my first winter season for both snowboarding and skiing. Any recommendations as to how to prepare, or advice you have about logistics, I’d appreciate!
Lay it on me, and please don’t shy away from how it is, plain and simple -
