Becoming a Boarding Instructor

[adamti91]

As the season has progressed, I feel condfident enough in my ablilities that I am considering becoming a snowboarding instructor. While I do have some difficulties with moguls on double-diamonds, the requirement to "...be able to Ski or Ride Intermediate (Blue Square) Terrain" is an easy one to fufill. A lot of my freinds are already instructors, both skiing and snowboarding. I'm turning 16 one month from today and hopefully I will be an instructor before the end of the season. Not only will it improve my own abilities, but hopefully it will supplement my wallet, seeing as my other job is closed for a few months. I'll keep you updated on the status!

I see that you are a belleayre rider so I take it you are looking to work in the catskills. Check your PM.

I'm going up to Plattekill on Saturday to talk to the head of instruction... I'll try to take some runs and some pictures for a trip report as well (I've never been to Plattekill)...
