Let's face it, your passion is not cheap ! With lift tickets between $100-$300 a day ( not to mention traveling expenses to and from a ski are ), not everybody can afford skiing/snowboarding 😩😢
But if you're truly passionate about skiing/snowboarding, here are a few ways YOU can make money doing what you love !
1 - Get a job as a ski/snowboard instructor
You don't have to be an Olympic medalist ( or a competitive athlete ) to get a job as a ski/snowboard instructor...
Personally, I got
my job as a ski instructor even though I had started skiing/riding literally a month before that ! I did have education and experience working with kids, and my first job in the industry was teaching kids 4-6 how to ski.
If you're a decent skier/snowboarder, your experience, and passion for snow sports are all you need to get a job in the industry !
Not only will you get a free season pass, get paid, and have many job perks, but you can get great deals/discounts for skiing/riding at other resorts, and discounted season tickets/season passes for your family members !
And guess what ? There are people who've made this their career ! They travel around the world woking in the ski/snowboard/travel industry year round !
