For many ski and snowboard enthusiasts, becoming a ski instructor is a logical next step in their lives, as it allows them to make a living from their passion for snow sports for a good part of the year.
What's more, this profession is often a family affair, as it's not uncommon to come across the mother, brother or cousin of an esf member at the same ski resort.
