I heard an instructor at Breckenridge say she was gettin $10hr. but that was a few years ago.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

markovwgti 0 #5 November 21, 2008 people pay a minimum of 100$ an hour for a first time class which your in with 10 other people or a private one on one lesson....also on top of that you have to get a lift ticket which is about 60 bucks....its ridiculous how much they are paying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie120 0 #6 November 21, 2008 So whay you are saying is you can pack one tandem an hour and make more money than as an instructor at a ski resort *** Pretty much. I understand why instructors stay in apartments with 15 people now. I still dont understand why so many travel the globe to do that job. They must really love there work.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_squared431 0 #7 November 23, 2008 First off I taught for years and most resorts don't pay instructors unless they are teaching a lesson. 10-15 was the average when I taught. For regular lessons 10 and privates 15. If you have a level 1-2-3 you will make more. It used to bring you up to 15 an hour but if you got a private or a private request for a lesson you made a shit load of money. The majority of the resorts now pay a show up fee which is two hrs. If you can cross over and teach both skiing and boarding you will always work and have about 600-800 biweekly. Plus tips. If you are working there just to play for free and work as little as possible then you will be lucky if you make 200 biweekly.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shermanator 4 #8 November 24, 2008 want to teach me? I have tried, but just can't seem to get it. The price of lift tickets is outragous. I stopped attempting to learn after I left disney. *they would let us trade lift tickets, for disneyland tickets* CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
