Training for a first time volunteer is simply a one day classroom session (Oct/Nov) and then 2 all day on-hill training sessions (Dec) where they go through basic teaching progressions as well as training on the adaptive equipment for either stand-up skiers (tethers and outriggers) or sit-down skiers (bi-ski/mono ski). You are then essentially certified. Once the lessons begin you will get paired up with a more experienced volunteer and away you go. They offer a bunch of free training clinics throughout the season on teaching progressions and using various types of equipment.
I'm only in my 2nd season with CK but its quite honestly the coolest thing I have ever been a part of.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
