Teaching Skiing
Any tips? They must have decent boots. Take it slow and easy and try not to wear 'em out too much.

Not to mention best skier, equipment expert, mtb rider, bike tech, trail builder and I'm sure several other things I missed.

Creaky Dooshbag claims to be a ski school teacher. Maybe he can help you out with some pointers on how to alienate and insult the new skier.

Expect to spend very little time actually on skis.
Drinking helps. The right amount is tricky, though.

When he was teaching 3-4 year olds my kid figured out that if you explain to them that real skiers get their pants wet all the time it saves you from having to change their underwear when they pee their pants. (He's bumped golf cars, cared for a paralyzed man, been a Squaw pro patroller, and is now a surgery intern. Teaching those little kids was the hardest job he's had. Picking them up off the snow is hard on the back.)

are you planning on committing a few years to being an instructor and climbing the ranks from snot-wiper to privates, or is this just a job for a year or two so you can "ski bum"? ....If it's the latter I wouldn't even consider instructing. get a evening job. never ever work days

teaching skiing is actually very fun, especially if the conditions suck.
Don't let them do anything until they master the wedge wiggle.
Seriously though the hardest thing to correct I see is folks way back seat.Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

Teaching Skiing
You get to deal with the douchey older instructors who teach their private clients how to do the perfect turn on lame short, skinny/carving skis. Glad I never instructed. I work at nights & only do one lunch/dinner double shift a week. For myself, practically everyday is shred day.
Always charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.

Make sure your teaching skis don't have anything "offensive" on the top sheets. (We all know that the nude female form is a testament to the glory of God, but management somehow doesn't see it that way. Bunch of atheists I guess.)

Agree. Sliding around on some flat sticks in wintertime is fun! Everybody should do it.
