    I am travelling Europe at the moment but I am hoping to settle down around October and start work in a ski resort, maybe in France or Switzerland (anywhere I can get a job realy)

    Does anybody know any good Companies or resorts that I could apply to??? I am kind of lost in my query at the moment so if you can help me out in this I would be very grateful.

    Natives.co.uk is possibly a good place to see what kind of jobs may be available.

    Are you just after any kind of resort work, or do you have an instructor qualification too?

    David,
    Natives as above is a good start

    You will need a visa for Switzerland unless you are a British Citizen,

    TUI is the biggest tour operator in the market for jobs but jobs with big TO'S tend to pay crap with hard work but good perks.

    By October most of the jobs will be gone gone gone. this may surprise you but allot of people are repeat employees for winters!

    Prime jobs are Bar work as it = Massive ski time other great jobs mostly in Austria Ski Guide with a TO you get paid to Ski!!!
