With nighttime temps approaching 32 degrees and resorts hiring staff for the 24-25 season, we thought it was an appropriate time to do an episode on how exactly one goes about becoming a snowboard or ski instructor.

Join Chris, Matt, and Brian, as they reflect on their journey from snowboarder to snowboard educator. Along the way, they'll share their top tips for how to move to a mountain, get a job at a ski area, and fall in love with teaching like they did.

If you've been looking for the perfect episode to share with a friend who you think would make a great teacher... this is it! It's also a great episode to share with co-workers, new hires, trainers, and supervisors, as everyone knows that person that would be a great instructor!

Don't miss this week's hot take... just what is the deal with volume shifted snowboards?
