How good does your German have to be if you want to become a Ski Instructor?

I suppose it depends where you want to play your trade.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You need to Login to know who's really who.

Depends on how you go about becoming a ski instructor. Get to BASI 2, have it recognised by Tyrol as an Anwaerter (Bescheid) and you won't have to know any to work in Tyrol. Go via an Anwaerter course and you'll have to know enough to put a lesson together and a theory test, do a gap course and they babysit you though this bit.

yes, for Austrian Resorts. Do British Instructors teach anyone other than Brits?

Yes, but very much depends on the ski school and the instructor.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

What @Sitter, said!
@NewSki, my German isn't particularly efficient but I teach German speaking guests. I prefer kids though as they are a bit more understanding and a bit easier to talk to in the gondola!
Also English is used as the teaching language for guests from Belgium, Holland, Russia and many other areas.
