Shadowing at Chill Factore

Chill Factore are very supportive of the need for new instructors to gain Ski School Experience through shadowing and encourage participants to be actively involved in the lessons by assisting the instructor who is delivering the lesson. They are also open to aspiring instructors getting involved with shadowing prior to taking the Alpine Level 1 and not just those who have completed the course. This means that aspiring instructors can be really well prepared before the Level 1 begins. Contact Edie Marsh, assistant snowsports manager at Chill Factore for more info.
