What do I sign up for?
Your tasks as a Team Leader will vary quite a lot, but your most important job will be to be there for the new instructors. It is therefore important for us that you can say yes to the following:
1) I can participate in The Snowminds Academy in Copenhagen or online on 12th-14th September.
2) I can participate in the Kick off Events either in person or online. International kick off 15th-18th of September in Copenhagen. Dutch Kick off (Austria only) September 21st.
3) I can travel with our new team, or meet them upon arrival, in either Canada, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Spain or Japan in November/December. If you want to go to Japan or Canada we expect you to do the full season there yourself too. If you want to go to Canada you need to apply for your visa ASAP.
4) I am available to lead team activities and support the team throughout the entire season. I’m committed to being a consistent presence and point of contact for the team from start to finish.
It is a big advantage if you can say yes to everything and we will prioritise this. In case there is one or two of the things that you will not be able to live up to please let us know in your application and then we will take this into consideration. You can also check out our video below to get a better idea of how the Academy days unfold from a previous year.
What does it take to become a Team Leader?
As a Team Leader, you’ll play a vital role, especially during the courses, where you’ll be trusted with significant responsibility and expected to lead by example. That’s why it’s important that you can confidently say “yes” to the following:
- I take the responsibility of being a Team Leader seriously and am fully committed to stepping into the role with professionalism and dedication.
- I thrive in social environments. I’m outgoing, enjoy being around people, and naturally bring positive energy to the group.
- I’m committed to going above and beyond to ensure that every new instructor has an amazing experience. I understand that “doing whatever it takes” isn’t just a phrase. It’s the mindset I’ll carry throughout the entire season.
- I’m ready to work hard, stay motivated, and give 100%, even when challenges arise.
- I feel confident leading a group, taking initiative, and speaking in front of others.
- I’m open to learning and growing, and I’m excited to be a part of the Snowminds Academy journey.
- I’m open to continuing as a Team Leader or Course Manager beyond this season. This is not a requirement, but it’s a plus.
What is Snowminds Academy?
The Snowminds Academy is an exciting and valuable training experience designed for all future Team Leaders and Program Managers from across the globe. Our goal is to ensure that every participant is well-prepared, confident, and fully equipped with the tools and mindset needed to succeed in their leadership role.
The Academy provides in-depth training on all key aspects of being a Team Leader, including leadership skills, communication, conflict resolution, group dynamics, and more. The knowledge and experiences you gain here will not only help you in your upcoming role but will also serve as valuable assets in your future professional journey.
While we strongly encourage everyone to join us in person, as this allows for full immersion in the experience and the invaluable opportunity to network, collaborate, and build strong relationships with other professionals in the industry, we understand that attending in person is not always possible. For those who cannot travel, online participation is available. Please note that joining online means you will still have access to the core content and training sessions, but you may miss out on some of the hands-on activities, spontaneous discussions, and the vibrant social atmosphere that happens organically during in-person events.
This is a chance to not only gain valuable experience but also to become part of a growing international network of passionate and like-minded individuals.
We would love to see everyone there in person, sharing the energy and making meaningful connections, but if that’s not possible, we’ll make sure you’re still part of the journey online.

The Team Leader role is a paid position with additional valuable benefits, which we’ll discuss further during the interview process.
