Ski instructor

Ski instructors teach people to ski and improve their technique on the slopes. The work involves assessing skiers' abilities, teaching skills and technique, ensuring safety, adapting to conditions and learners, and giving clients an enjoyable, confidence-building experience on the mountain.

They work at ski resorts and schools, often seasonally. The role suits fit, patient, skilled skiers who enjoy teaching and the mountains, can adapt to learners from nervous beginners to advanced skiers, and combine technical expertise with the encouragement and safety awareness that help people progress and love the sport.
