We seek out graduates of this class when selecting instructors for our annual staffing needs.
Whether you have a serious desire to become a ski instructor, or you want to make that jump to high performance upper level skiing, this program is for you.
NEW Bonus! All participants are eligible to purchase a season pass at Instructor pricing — about 1/3 of ski school discount! Register with program and then email Ullr Sports School for special ordering instructions.
After the first 3 Saturdays, participants will be assigned to shadow elementary instruction classes so you will earn real cadet instructor experience.
There is a test at the end of the season for instructor training students interested in trying out to be paid instructors next season. Note that paid instructors must be at least 14 years old.
Bonus! Students who successfully complete this course receive a free pre-season instructor training package for qualifying to be an instructor the next fall (a $50 value). Email Ullr Sports School for more info.

Required Advanced Skills Test
You must pass a proficiency test to demonstrate that you can ski or ride in control on Blue terrain. The test will be conducted in a marked corridor approximately 30 ft. wide and 300 ft. long set on Blue terrain by the Gallery Lift.
To PASS, an Instructor Training Student will be expected to:
- control your speed by making linked turns across the fall line
- make linked turns in both directions (left/right, toeside/heelside)
- stay inside the corridor from top to bottom with no falls or stops
Students will get up to 3 attempts on the course during the testing period.
Students who do NOT pass the skills test or MISS the test must sign up and pay for Recreational Skiing/Snowboarding.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
