Training

INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

• You are expected to attend Big Sky Mountain Sports provided early season clinics.   

  • Returning instructors will be paid up to 25 hours of training for the season.  

  • New instructors will be paid up to 40 hours of training for the season. 

As a staff, we strive to maintain the highest level of professionalism, knowledge, teaching ability and skiing proficiency. Each individual is expected to pursue these outcomes within their personal abilities. Do what is right for you; do not push too hard. Awareness and ownership of your individual strengths, weaknesses, abilities and limitations will serve you well in this profession as well as in life.  

Pursuing training, other than Big Sky Resort provided training, is not a job requirement. External training and certification, including, but not limited to PSIA/AASI events and certifications, national academy, rider rally, and USSA events, is not mandatory and is outside of a staff member’s prescribed duties.  

8am Clinics 

• To ski/ride at 8am on Ramcharger in uniform you must be signed up for the clinic by 4pm the day before. If it snows 4" or more 8am training will be moved indoors. If you want to free ski at 8am you can purchase the add on ticket and ski/ride out of uniform.
