When we say to someone, "Have you ever considered being an instructor with us?" 9 times out of 10 the response is usually, “Who, me? Nooooo.”
But if you handle advanced intermediate runs easily, are at least 16 years old, fun-loving, friendly, hardworking, energetic, and enjoy helping others, the answer is YES!!! You would make a great addition to our staff!
Perhaps you need hours to fulfill community service requirements. Choose to volunteer in lieu of being paid, and all your training and teaching hours will apply. This could amount to 30-70 hours per year.

Here are a few words from some of our existing instructors:
“I joined the Mohan Family last year after being recruited by a current instructor and I’m already looking forward to this year’s season and many more to come. My main reason for joining the school was the discounted seasons pass and lesson discounts for my kids, but now I realize it’s for the people at the school, the memories we make together, and the safe but fun environment for my two children.”
— Hansel, Instructor for 2 years
“I’ve been with Mohan for 8 years now and I’m hoping for many more to come! The most rewarding aspect of being a ski instructor at Mohan is not only teaching someone how to ski and witness their improvement over the weeks but to pass along your love and passion for the most wonderful winter sport there is... skiing!”
— Valentina, Instructor for 9 years
“It’s been 5 years since I became an instructor at Mohan, thanks to my 2 daughters who were also instructors. There aren’t many challenges, it’s all fun, but if I had to name one, I’d say it can sometimes be a challenge to get up there, being ready to go with lesson plan in hand when the elements are against you! But every time a student gets that ‘a-ha’ moment and they are so pleased they’ve finally got it down and are enjoying it at the same time, it makes it ALL worth it!”
— Greg, Instructor for 6 years
