While at St Anton, Schneider developed the basics of ski instruction known as the Hannes Schneider Arlberg Ski Technique and Method of Teaching or simply the Arlberg Technique. This is still used today as foundation of teaching alpine skiing. Many of the early pioneers of alpine skiing passed through Schneider's school as instructors, including Luiggi Foger, Rudi Matt, Benno Rybizka and Otto Lang who went on to open ski schools in the USA at Mt Rainer, Mt. Hood and Mt Baker and ran the Sun Valley Ski School for many years.
