Do you have an interest in working with children and sharing your passion for skiing and riding? This program is your first step toward becoming a Junior Instructor and working in the Snow Sports/Resort Community.

How?
We will explore the fundamentals of becoming a Jr. Instructor. We will work through the same learning progression utilized by our Snow Sport University professionals. The emphasis will be on teaching children in a safe and fun manner. You will shadow Mitey and Mini Mite classes to learn what SSU Instructors do. All this while also getting coaching on your own skiing/riding skills.

Who should apply?
The program is open to skiers/riders who are between the ages of 13-16 years old. You need to be comfortable skiing/riding on most blue/black trails on Madonna and Sterling Mountains. At the end of the 6 weeks, participants who have successfully completed the program and are 14 or older will be eligible to apply to be a paid Junior Instructor. There may be an opportunity to be hired on for the rest of the 2024 season too!

Participants who are hired for Snow Sport University within 2 years of participating in this program will be reimbursed 50% of what they paid for the program.

The Smugglers' 55+ Club is for seniors who like to ski (alpine or Nordic), snowboard, snowshoe, and enjoy being with their peers. Non-skiers are welcome and often enjoy board games instead of skiing. Our goal is simple: get out of the four walls, break the daily routine, meet a wide variety of people and be active.
The Club:
• Actively caters to all abilities.
• Is informal, welcoming and unstructured.
• Often keeps going throughout the year when the snow is gone.
• Is a great way to extend your contacts into the community.
• Is a great way to get acquainted with aspects of the community that one might not otherwise be exposed to.
