You will join a tight knit mountain team, with your season starting in late November. Your training will include preparation for work in another department alongside the ski school. Through the season you will job share between ski school and another department at Marmot. This gives you more hours and experience.
Ski instructor work is primarily with international school groups but you could be working with any clients day to day.
Accommodation is covered as part of your course until after the level 1 exam. Once you start work the cost for this will come directly out of your wage. Accommodation is staff mixed share style and is close to the mountain.
