Ski Instructor

Most people aren’t born with a knack for skiing. After all, the ability to strap on wooden sticks and fly down a mountainside at high speeds isn’t a skill that’s necessarily associated with survival and therefore passed down in the genetic code. Instead, most people learn to ski through the hard work of Ski Instructors.

As a Ski Instructor, you have one of the most beautiful offices in the world. The snowy mountains and stunning vistas, glistening in the wintertime sunlight, are truly a sight to behold!

As part of your compensation package, you’re allowed to ski as often as you like without paying a fee. You may take runs up and down the mountain before your shift, during your lunch break, and after your work is complete. Your stunning performance may help you drum up business.

The classes you teach as a Ski Instructor are often segmented by skill level. In some classes, you teach brand-new skiers how to stay upright on their skis. In other sessions, you help more advanced skiers navigate hills, jumps, and other hazards.

Sometimes, you function as a Cheerleader, encouraging your students to love the sport and believe in themselves. Other times, you function as a Police Officer, reprimanding your charges when they take unnecessary risks.

As an employee of a resort, you’re expected to be cheerful, excited, and friendly at all times. After all, people on vacation like to be surrounded by workers who are happy, not disgruntled employees with an ax to grind. When you’re at work, you do your best to keep a smile firmly planted on your face.
