Become a Coach With Us

If you’ve been a skier or snowboarder for quite some time, why not come and train with us towards your Level 1 or above Ski or Snowboard instructing qualifications, and even better, have an opportunity to interview for a role on our team!

Your Ability

You’ll be an advanced skier or rider, confident in all mountain terrain and conditions. Our Snowsports crew are an important part of our mountain team, delivering unforgettable experiences every day for our guests.

Opportunity to Join Our Team

After our Rookie Instructor Training Programme, you will be prepared to take your Level 1 NZSIA Ski or SBINZ Snowboard certification exam and be guided to the most appropriate exam date to focus on.

On successful completion* of the Rookie Instructor Training Programme in either Queenstown or Canterbury, you will be offered the opportunity to interview for a full-time or part-time seasonal position with one of our Queenstown or Mt Hutt Snowsports Schools as an Instructor.

This may be before completing your Level 1 exam. To find out more and register click on the links below!

*Please note that successful completion means performing to the expected level required for a Rookie/Level 1 instructor.

Please note that the two programme options (Coronet Peak and The Remarkables in Queenstown, or Mt Hutt in Canterbury) are the same, please apply to just one location, either Queenstown or Canterbury.
