How much do Tunnel intructors make?

Recommended Posts

not much, 8-11 starting

but you get tunnel time to improve your skills, and than after some time when you get good you could coach privately and make some money that way

NOT ENOUGH.



Are you implying that all the tunnel owners have illegally established some type of conspiracy to reduce the pay from what the hiring market would naturally produce for this type of role?:P


edit: I know, I know, it's just a harmless comment that you absolutely appreciate your instructors - it's a nice thing to say

actually, "fair pay" is most non-biased-ly defined as what one can get on the open market in an equivalent type of role.

So - what's an 'equivalent' job to tunnel rat?

Then add in 1 on 1 training when hired as a personal coach - better money there, but not consistent.

Maybe a cross between life-guard and personal trainer? (that's pretty good money actually)

and then for individual coaching, it's obviously comparable to a tennis-pro or sports-pro in terms of equivalent role for assessing income or rates

I'm sure someone has a better analogy, but it's a pretty cool job with some 'real' responsibilities - especially in the attendant role where people could really get hurt without them.

Too true! It's hard work, a hard schedule, and a lot of physical wear and tear. I love our owners here in Denver so I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but it's like a lot of jobs--it just doesn't necessarily pay the real value of the service, like teaching. :)

I don't think its necessarily "better" but I've always thought of them as comparable Group & Private Ski Instructors who have also completed the National Ski Patrollers training.
