The Adaptive Ski Program is staffed by a yearly average of 150 volunteer instructors, many certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America. The majority of these instructors are professionals between the ages of 28 - 40, are intermediate to advanced skiers, and take an active interest in community affairs. Instructors receive four days of intensive, hands on training with yearly updates. Training includes disability specific issues such as medications, behaviors, equipment fit, teaching styles, etc.

Each volunteer is asked to contribute six teaching days each winter. Opportunity to teach additional days is available. Some positions involve non skiing roles just in case you are not proficient on skis. Instructor incentives among other important topics are discussed at the Volunteer Orientation Meeting in November. See the Season Schedule for dates.
