Instructor Orientation & Recruitment

Instructor orientations are underway!  What is more fulfilling than helping a child experience their first turns skiing or snowboarding?  If you love working with people and helping them to accomplish their goals then this is the volunteer position for you!
Sky Tavern will train you to instruct!  Anticipate that your own skiing and riding will improve as well!  In person, online, and on-snow training sessions will be available to work around your busy schedules.  You can train to lead classes or support a lead instructor.  We need your help to ensure our class sizes are small!

Learn more about our learning programs and instructing at Instructor Orientations.  Virtual orientations will be available in November.  If you would like to attend, Please RSVP in this survey.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Kristen@skytavern.com.

Training Goals: Every lead instructor will feel confident guiding classes from first-time skiers and riders (“never-evers”) all the way to confidently linking turns on green terrain.  Certified instructors will continue their training through blue and black terrain.  Training includes how to introduce skills, improve demos, review common errors, and tips for adapting lessons to the younger rippers.  

We’re keeping the colored levels (Yellow, Green, Blue, Black).  Based on valuable member feedback, we’ve made some adjustments to improve the learning experience.  Training will cover these changes.  Instructors will have the opportunity to learn more about the PSIA-AASI certification process in between sessions.

Join us on-snow as we prepare for the start of the Sky Tavern Learn to Ski and Ride Programs!  Arrive early so that you are ready to ski and ride promptly at the session start time.  Helmets, eye protection, and gloves required.  Check your ski and snowboard equipment!   

Expect more dates to be added during winter break!
