Alta’s authentic feel and the pairing of many a skier’s dream destination with an expert local’s ski area create a rewarding and inspiring place to teach and play.

We deliver high-quality lesson experiences, provide excellent value and cultivate long-term relationships with our guests and staff. Alta’s pure mountain experience and amazing snow quality inspire a friendly and welcoming environment on a hardcore skier’s mountain.

What is it like to teach skiing at Alta?

  • Join our community of instructors and ski school support staff numbering 150 dedicated professionals. Ski school employee turnover is under 10% per year. We get to know you and you get to know us.
  • Enjoy an authentic skiers-only mountain uncluttered by second-party advertising and other distractions from the joy of alpine skiing.
  • Be comfortable in a spacious ski school locker room with direct access to your peers, supervisors and the ski school director.
  • Plan on one of the most dependable ski seasons in North America. Alta is often awarded “best snow” in ski magazine resort rankings.
  • Feel confident in Alta’s long-term consistency in ski area ownership, management and mission in skiing since 1938. Alta is a predictable and stable place to work and focus on the quality of your ski lessons.
