Anyone know how much they earn on average?
Not inculding the things they get for free, ie accomodation, ski pass, ski/boot hire, food, etc.

About £60 - £70 per week. A lot of companies hold back a % which is paid at the end of the season and some companies insist on a bond.

I can't answer this, but it's probably the same (in real terms) to what I was paid as an unqualified ski instructor on Cairngorm in 1974 - accommodation, two meals a day, and 15 quid per week.
But we were regularly treated to a free return trip to Aviemore (from Newtonmore) for the Monday midnight movie (cinema now demolished, I believe).
Golden days!

No, it's not. I remember the days when chalet girls earned a shilling a month and suffered Dickensian working conditions. But poverty has always created a sense of community.

David, I wonder how many chalet hosts actually go to the cinema these days whilst working in a ski resort? I suspect the opportunity to drink themselves into an alcoholic oblivion is far more preferable than watching 'manon des sources'!
Yes, times do change........and yes, poverty has always created a sense of community. Clearly the sense of community you are speaking of is not the sort you'll find in 'gated off' middle class enclaves in Surrey!

Chalet staff do go to the cinema still! But only when they are showing English language versions of the usual Hollywood films in resort cinemas... and when they need a night off the booze (normally some time in late February).

kevin mcclean, I'm from Surrey! the "gated off" bits are definitely NOT middle class - much too expensive - those places all belong to rich Arab Kings and such like (or George Best before his last episode).
