hope this is the right forum section - couldnt see one appropriate. seriously work driving me crazy and then i remembered you are supposed to find a job which pays for what you want to do. OK, I admit it i want to spend a season skiing, but yet to meet my sugar daddy, so guess i would need to work. Im a bit, erm, mature, to be a chalet skivvy. Any other ideas? Id say Im only advanced skier on a good day, no particularly useful skills, not more than pretty useless wit a language but could pick up basics pretty fast with motivation, so thought maybe a boot fitter or something techie - do you need quals? If so what? Any other ideas?

Keep your head down for 6 months and apply for next season come jun-jul. Look for smaller chalet companies as probably more orientated to mature (& reliable) staff than the large chalet companies, over-run with 18 year olds.
Jobs - lots of them do ski hosting - which is basically taking the punters round the mountain making sure they don't get lost and show them to the nice restaurant / vin-chaud stop.
See www.natives.co.uk for more info on jobs..

Even as a plongeur you would benefit from "additional skills such as driving, plumbing or electrics". Either pick up some skills for next year, or stick at what you are doing.

How old are you? we had a couple in their mid 50's chalet hosting when I did my season. So unless you're older than that I would say get on it.

There's a legendary one in verbier, must be well into her 70s now, started her business there around the age of 50. Last time I saw her, she'd just had a spill and been helicoptered off the mountain with concussion - so she's taking it easy and not doing any off piste these days, plus always wearing a helmet now!!

FAQ
but dont paln to become sensible just yet, although i dont like eating cold baked beans every night so maybe a modicum of sanity is in order. hmm, ski hosting sounds like might suit me - why didnt i think of this a few months ago so i could escape this winter
