Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

There’s often questions on here about working in ski areas. Andorra has reached an agreement with the U.K. to make it easier for young people to work here. They’ve simplified the process meaning that you don’t need a sponsor (employer) to get a work permit. The work permit is also valid for one year and not just for a few months like you would get with a touristic season work permit. It might be limited to just 100 applicants though.
As someone who lives in Andorra, I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to find work outside of tourism/hospitality unless the young person speaks good Catalan or Spanish, and there are some employers who would insist on Catalan. There’s just not a huge demand in any area of work (education possibly) for anyone who can’t speak one of those languages. I’m rubbish at both but I have to speak English all day at work and work in education. The other problem with Andorra is accommodation. It’s relatively expensive and difficult to find. That said, other living expenses are quite reasonable - council tax equivalent is tiny, I pay around €30 a month electricity (decent sized 2 bedroom apartment), and I pay €50 a month for water and heating (community charge on the apartment block). Food costs a similar amount to the U.K. but drinking out costs less. Crime is practically non existent.
Anyway, someone may find this interesting/useful.
