Nordic Ski Instructor

The Stratton Nordic Center is currently seeking friendly, engaging, and experienced Nordic Ski Instructors!

Instructors are responsible for teaching both private and group lessons, for kids and adults, from first timers to intermediate skiers.

We’re looking for applicants who are positive, active, and willing to help wherever they are needed. Enjoying time outside in winter is a must.

Most importantly, applicants must be eager to be part of a fun, supportive team of winter enthusiasts, and be ready to share their enthusiasm with both Stratton guests and the entire New England Nordic skiing community.

Ski 10K comfortably.
