I'm not certified, but the resort I worked at the past two season, I averaged $4.28/hr because we didn't get paid for all of the hours we had to be there but weren't teaching. Teaching ski school lessons is not the way to get rich, that's for sure.

Sooooo true!

In my experience as an instructor, if you look like you're teaching a friend, we'll ignore you and maybe feel sorry for your "victim" as most of the people we see teaching a friend end up taking them down too steep of a trail and yelling at them. If you look like you're taking business away from ski school and profiting off of it, they probably are not going to take it well.

Leadville has way cheaper rent and is about a 20 minute drive in good weather... There is also a bus ($5/way) from Leadville to Copper. You sacrifice the nightlife scene, but for some it's worth it.
