  • Answer:

    If you live in the East you can also get info about clinics from the ASIA. http://www.asiaski.com/ If you are close to a ski resort that has an Adaptive Skiing Center you can also inquire with the centers to see if they are accepting new volunteers. Most adaptive centers do not pay instructors, but many have a comp program. I used to volunteer with the center at Killington/Pico. Others exist at Windham, Bromley, Mt. Snow, and Sugarbush. I'm sure there are others close by. They usually accept instructors under 18 and many people will start there, get some certifications, and then move on to other things. Adaptive programs also don't need expert skiers, so skiing the diamonds isn't usually a requirement. Most of the clients rarely get off the greens and blues. You can also check with various resorts to see if they have a Junior Instructor Program. These have sort of fallen out of style since many smaller places will hire HS kids to teach. The little mountian I patrol at in PA has a ton of HS kids who teach and they all get paid.

In the Puget Sound area, many concession ski schools will hire inexperienced personnel if they are willing and able to work with young children. The hiring process begins in September around here, it will continue through the first of January. It is much more important that you are willing to teach and have a personality that does a good job of representing the area in a good way. Several training programs exist for ski instructors. Most of them are in the individual ski schools, not on line. Contact the ski school at the area where you wish to teach. You do not need to be an expert skier, just reasonably competent. Know how to explain about the basics of skiis and boots, be warm and outgoing to people. This is a social sport as much as a snow sport. Good luck. Good spelling is a skill you should develop along with proper grammer. Research accept and except.
