why powderpigs?
What does it mean to be an instructor?
The instructors are the backbone of our program. As a Powderpigs instructor you are expected to have a genuine enthusiasm for teaching children to ski and snowboard. The benefits of becoming an instructor are numerous. Besides the satisfaction that comes with working with children, there is lots of skiing and snowboarding, pay, a discount season pass to The Summit at Snoqualmie and use of our building. You will be involved in a very rewarding experience packed with fun, friends and flexible hours. We offer a complete training program designed to prepare you for your Powderpigs adventure. All we ask is a full 9 week season work commitment for at least 1 day per week (Wednesday Afternoons, Friday Night, Saturday, or Sunday) You can view the season schedule HERE.
