Snowschool Instructor

Whiteroom has positioned itself as one of the premier operations across Hokkaido for over 15 years across all of the services we provide. 

Whiteroom Instructor is part of someone's journey in skiing and snowboarding whether they are learning a new sport or trying to master the skills of skiing deep powder. We are looking for people who are passionate about the mountains and teaching which they can share with our customers. Our instructors are continuously looking to develop their own teaching and riding skills through working as part of a close-knit team and also having independence to make the most of the day with your guests.   

Whiteroom’s bases in Hokkaido are located in the world-famous Niseko and the more local setting of Furano. Out of either base, a Whiteroom Instructor will be expected to deliver our full-day or half-day private lessons and portions of the Powder Progression Tour. From your home base, you can explore many different resorts with our guests or have a blast on your day off with your teammates. 

A Whiteroom Instructor will be required to provide a high level of customer service to create a Japanese experience for our guests they will never forget.
