What is the ITC? An opportunity to become a ski or snowboard instructor at Whitetail. |
Attending the Whitetail Instructor Training Clinic (ITC) is your first step towards becoming a ski or snowboard instructor at Whitetail Ski Resort. The training consists of two days of indoor training and two days of on snow training. During the indoor training you will learn about how to teach skiing or snowboarding at Whitetail. During the on snow portion you will practice the skiing or riding skills that are fundamental to all skill levels and also practice on snow teaching skills for all levels. Some people who attend the ITC do not intend to become instructors (at least right away). For them, attending the ITC is a way to learn some of the technical aspects of the sport and improve their own skiing at a great price (compared to taking regular group lessons). |
|
When is the ITC? March, November and December |
The ITC consists of 6 hours of indoor training and at least 10 hours of on
snow training. Indoor training sessions are a series of 75 minute sessions over
one day.

Where is the ITC? Whitetail is 90 minutes from either beltway. |
Whitetail is located in Mercersburg, PA. Click here for directions. The resort is 90 minutes from the Washington and Baltimore beltways. This is close enough for you to drive to the resort and get back home on the same day. Located just 10 minutes North of Interstate 70 (Clear Spring exit), driving to Whitetail is easy. The indoor sessions are held in the main lodge. The on snow sessions will take you all over the mountain. |
|
Who's involved? If you're over 14, you can learn from the best. |
Anyone over 14 can become a ski or snowboard instructor. 14 - 15 year olds can become junior instructors (most are volunteers in exchange for free skiing). If you think you are not good enough to teach, all you need is more practice and more confidence. The ITC is a perfect way to get both. Whitetail has many teaching opportunities that do not require an expert level of skiing. Whitetail always needs more instructors. If you have the desire or are just curious, this is a wonderful "no pressure" opportunity to explore what teaching is like.. Mac Jackson is our ski school director at Whitetail. Anthony Frisbee is our snowboard supervisor. If you call the number below, you'll probably hear back from one of these outstanding snow sports specialists. The best instructors on the mountain will be your clinic leaders. |
