The Sierra teaching experience

Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort offers some of the best teaching terrain in the Tahoe basin, and you can enjoy tree-skiing, powder, backcountry gates, and terrain parks.

With this in mind, Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort instructors get plenty of hours teaching and other tasks, increasing your earning power.
