SPRINGFIELD WEEKS 1 & 2
What a start to the season, before we had even started packing for our adventures the snow had been falling on a regular basis over New Zealand’s south island. Porters (the nearest ski field where most of our training takes place) have had some of the best pre-season conditions for years, setting us up nicely for the beginning of the course.

We often get asked how can I get a job as a ski instructor or snowboard instructor? We have a close relationship with Fernie Alpine Resort and the Ski School Director gave us this interview to help answer your questions. This is invaluable advice as it is comes from the people who will be giving you the job, so have a pen and paper ready!

Hi,
I’m Ollie Roffey, in 2005-2006 I took the NONSTOP 11 week instructor course in Fernie. (NONSTOP have asked me to write this post to give you some advice). It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, as I not only achieved Level 1 & 2 CSIA, but I made some life long friends and had an incredible season in arguably the best snow conditions in the world. I was due to start at the University of Edinburgh in September 2006 and on my return I was able to easily secure an instructing job with the qualifications I had gained through NONSTOP, and 3 years down the line I can now give some insights to anyone thinking of teaching in the UK.
So here are my top 10 tips on working as a ski instructor in the UK:
