Quit while it is still early in the season! i was a ski instructor for a year at smuggs. Worst winter of my life all my friends going out and hitting some sick pow and im stuck with bratty 5 year olds from new jersey and flordida. it is not worth the free season pass. IMO

 

[MangoSteeze]

[Ski_Unit_19]

yeahhh its stressful but damn i am making bank

 

[Justin.B]

ya it was an intense course but 11/hr. will be worth it

 

[Sufferboy]

i know i cant wait to get my holiday pay check, it should be very high

 

[Line0777]

ha yeahh man it was a massive fail

 

[phila]

11/h is pretty dope.

imma claim right her

i make 9.50/hour but i get a 2.50/h attendance bonus. so jsut have to go nine saturdays and i get 60$ pre program i teach. so 120 bucks bonus

every ski instructor i see with a group of 10 screaming rich kids just looks like they hate life, i always thought it was my dream job but it looks kind of painful...

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I love teaching, but I got suspended for three days because I'm fucking stupid. Good job, Aspen.

 

[MO-gan]

i fell ya man. im halfway thru my 8day in a row shift. and to top it off im getting shitty lessons, fucking never evers on the carpets that cant make a wedge turn to save their life.

i also only get minimum wage, but for each 2 hour lesson, i get paid for 4 hours. so its legit, basically 15$ an hour. my holiday check is gonna be a shit ton though!

man + vibes

Yeah I have 2 friends who are instructors, and they both say it sucks. One of them was promoted to operating the NASTAR course though, and he says it's really easy.

 

[jfoley019]

some one just read the NS dictionary thread. I hear ya man, I am helping teaching skiing to inner city kids for a program called YES in Boston. It can be wicked stressful. Good luck and try to keep the strees level down

 

[grifter]

harsh.

I just can't deal with groups of little kids at all, they just piss me off too much. on their own its cool to see them improve, but seriously 8 little kids screaming 'cus it's cold and their legs hurt, I was close to just skiing of and letting them find their own way home.

Ski guiding's where it's at.

i love running nastar, its the shit. you sit at the top of the course, and radio their nastar number down to the bottom. thats it, its sweet aas fuck.
