 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, sorry if this isn't in the right thread but I'm kind of new here.
I'm basically after any advice possible to give me an idea of what I should prepare for and potentially encounter on my first ski season.
Kind of vague I know but im going in blind so any help/ advice is highly appreciated.

Yeah, I believe that's the umbrella company but the people I will be working with provide housekeeping to private chalets and commercial properties in val d'Isère

Strong over elbow rubber gloves and a bit of basics in unblocking French plumbing then.
May also come in handy for more exotic sexual encounters.

High working hours, low pay, tiny room, filthy roomies, little ski-time, and scrubbing big skids off the dunny at 9am on a Monday morning while everyone else is up to their neck in pow.
Have fun

So what sort of advice are you after?
I am guessing it will be hard and not particular stimulating work but on the plus you will get to ski bum your way through when of the great ski towns (matter of opinion excepted) and great ski areas of Europe.

Val d'Isère is just like any other glitzy resort anywhere in the world. If you have money it’s absolutely great. If not, less so. Take as much as you can.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Decide b4 Xmas which is more important to you partying or snowsports. Time in a ski resort is precious live the dream, tolerate the work. If you get a pass it will be your ticket to freedom. Work hard, play hard and get as much sleep as you can. Trust no one but be friends to everyone. There will be good times and bad times all the time.
Take marmite and tea or whatever else warms your soul.
