Guest Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Hey, I'm planning on teaching English and living in the Nagano area next season and I was wondering if it was possible to get part-time work as a snowbard instructor(just enough work to get a free pass). Also, I'm very interested in visiting the backcountry. Are there any avalanche courses in the area? Thanks Nuno Link to post Share on other sites

Blazer 0 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I got approached by someone at Iwatake, in Hakuba, to ask if I rode the pipe or the jumps. They were offereing one day instruction classes in either the pipe or the park (about 6,000 yen I think). Anyway, they offer these services every weekend and some other odd days. What I'm trying to get at is that they approached me, a gaijin, so there is probably a need there for English speaking instructors, because my Japanese is pretty basic. However, I'm sure that you would also need to have a pretty good level of Japanese to be hired. Anyway, good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
