Ski Instruction

Want to learn to ski? Want to improve? We'll help!

Certification is a set of standards developed and defined by Professional Ski Instructors of America/ American Association of Snowboarders Instructors (PSIA/ AASI) National. Our ski instructors are certified Alpine or Nordic. Similar to other professional associations, Lake Shore instructors need to continue to receive on-going education to remain current with modern teaching and sharpen their skills.

Instructions are offered (free), on the morning of the first (or only) ski day of a trip if one is on the trip. The first priority for the instructors is beginning skiers. Instructors recommend that if you have never skied before, you should  take a lesson from an instructor at the area ski school. If there is more than one instructor on a trip, students are assigned to one or the other based on skill level. Look for our guys and gals on the mountain and on the cross country slopes.

We are also looking for additional certified snowboard, downhill and XC instructors.

If you have any questions concerning the LSSC instructor program, or if you meet the criteria and wish to become an instructor, please contact:
