The Latest News for
Current and Future Instructors
The Ski and Snowboard School at the Pine Knob Ski Resort is hiring for the 2021-2022 season. Applicants must be 16 years of age and competent skiers/riders. No teaching experience is necessary.
Interested applicants should be skiers and snowboarders with solid skiing/riding skills who can be instructed on how to teach. An applicant does not have to be an expert skier/snowboarder; but must have good athletic skills, be able to communicate, have the ability to adapt their skiing/snowboarding style, and love to ski or ride.
If hired, instructors will be paid on a commission basis. Instructors need to be ready to teach at any time during their scheduled shift. Between lessons, they are free to ski/snowboard. Instructors will not be paid for the hours that they do not teach.
Some of the requirements are:
• A minimum schedule of three times per week: M-F 10:00 a.m. until at least 2:00 p.m. or M-F by 5:00 p.m. until last lesson, Sat/Sun 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. until close. Checking in after 5:00 p.m. on weeknights is not usually acceptable.
• Purchase of an instructor’s jacket (not required to do this immediately).
• Required clinics and continuing education.
