Why LocalSnow is a Free Directory
We're building the directory we wish existed.
The Problem
Booking platforms charge 15-30% commission on every lesson. Instructors earn less, students pay more, and a middleman takes the rest. Discovery should be free.
Our Solution
LocalSnow is a free directory—like Yellow Pages for ski instructors. Browse real profiles with qualifications, languages, rates, and reviews. Contact instructors directly. No commission, no middleman.
Our Commitment to You
We're committed to keeping this directory free. If we ever add paid features, we'll give plenty of notice and keep any fees minimal—never the 15-30% commissions that booking platforms charge. This directory is built for the community, not investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about finding ski and snowboard instructors
How do I find a ski instructor at my resort?
Use our search to select your resort and preferred sport. Browse instructor profiles showing certifications, languages, specialties, and rates. Send a lesson request directly to the instructors you're interested in.
Is it free to search for ski instructors?
Yes, completely free. No booking fees, no commission, no hidden charges. Browse all instructor profiles and send lesson requests at no cost.
What's the difference between a private ski instructor and a ski school?
Private instructors offer personalized, one-on-one or small group lessons tailored to your pace and goals. Ski schools typically offer structured group lessons at fixed times. Private instruction is often more flexible and personal—you communicate directly with your instructor.
How do I know if an instructor is qualified?
All instructors on LocalSnow list their certifications (ISIA, BASI, CSIA, ESS, or equivalent). Look for the verified badge on profiles where we've confirmed credentials. We recommend asking instructors directly about their qualifications before booking.
Can I find English-speaking ski instructors?
Yes. Use the language filter to find instructors who teach in English, Spanish, French, German, or other languages. Many instructors are multilingual and happy to teach in your preferred language.
How much does a private ski instructor cost?
Private ski instructor rates vary by resort, experience, and lesson length. You can see each instructor's rates on their profile. Because there's no platform commission, instructors often offer better rates than booking through traditional platforms.
Are there ski instructors for beginners?
Absolutely. Many instructors specialize in beginner lessons, including adults learning for the first time. Filter by specialty to find instructors experienced with beginners, kids, or specific skill levels.
Can I find ski instructors for my kids?
Yes. Search for instructors who specialize in children's ski lessons. Look for instructors with experience teaching kids and relevant certifications. You can contact them directly to discuss your child's age and experience level.
