Human activity in the field of snow sports is a set of complex psychomotor functions, fitting in an interactive model of variables: ‘organism – world’. The study was an attempt to determine the specific situational dimensions and subjective properties determining the effectiveness of the teaching/learning process in professional, educational (school) and recreational forms of snow sports. Depending on the level of training, important differences in the process for teachers, trainers, and instructors were indicated. Also, some selected psychosocial teaching rules and an efficiency model for snow sports instructor work was discussed.
