hey,

I'm just finished college and have given up on job hunting here.....

I was wondering if any one has had any experience with gettin jobs in snow resorts?

I've done some looking on the Internet but it seams to be mainly English companies..... Does any one know how these companies work or are you better going to a resort and going job hunting there??

Thanks

pick a resort and be there around da 15th of nov and go to the tourist office they usually have lists of jobs and get ringin and knockin..

Can be a tough few days but worth it in the end!

In terms of jobs ppl will differ i personally was delighted in the end not to get the tour operator job cos i soon learnt they are pants in my opinion anyway...and thought about doin a trainig course but again waste of time ur prob only goin 2 do a few sessions at most dont waste ur time teachin other from 9-5 6 days a week spend ur time havin your own fun, of course feel free to just my 2 cent!!!

I would be lookin for a 3-11 ish shift enough time on the hill and early finish so u can have a bev r hit the hay early...

Its a bit daughting at the start but all i can say is i wish i was you!!!

Thanks a mill for that info!

I've started saving now for flights/accommodation ect, tryin to get a part time job with ppl going back to school/college to raise funds now...

The only thing ive to decide is where to go, Europe or canada... Canada has the advantage at the moment as I only have basic French.....

Having a language is not crucial. Canada has very little night life and it can be brutally cold. Austria, Italy, Andorra, Switzerland Southern Germany are all worth looking at.

None of that is true for all of Canada. Certainly in Quebec and parts of Alberta it can get very cold. I live in Whistler, BC and it is no colder here than in the Alps. The nightlife here is also at least as good as any of the resorts in the Alps I have been to. On top of that you get way more snow here and a longer season. The downside is obviously that you need to sort a work visa and the flights are more expensive to get out here.

True. Whistler has great snow and is not as cold as the east. But living there is mega expensive. I was there in April last and prices shocked me. I was stunned at what they charged for everything from beer to ski lessons.
