How to be 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. As per numbers around 10 to 12 percent of people in the United States go out for trying snowboarding and skiing. For some it is their first time and they need some instruction. If you are a good skier then you have the opportunity to become a ski coach.

Where to find a job as a ski instructor? The first question you should ask yourself what is what is my budget. 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 extra money will I need 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 you should ask yourself is where do I 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. You can take the correct decision by eliminating sources that really don't go well for you.

You can also try to get a ski instructor's certification. 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. Such organizations as PSIA, BASI, or CSIA can be a big help.

If you follow the tips mentioned above you can surely arrange a good job for yourself. In no time you can make a place for yourself on the slopes and earn a lot of money as well.
