Poster: A snowHead

Has anyone worked in a ski resort for a season? Where did you do it? What doing? I am seriously considering it but don't really know where to start looking for jobs etc. Any tips and advice would be great. Ta!

missnatnat, quite simply; go and do it!!
Otherwise you'll always wonder what it would have been like............. as for where to start as the others have said natives is a good place, but I think a lot of us on Snowheads have done or are still doing a season.................. well ok it's one season after another after another!!

missnatnat, use both Natives, SeasonWorkers and this site as much as you can. Amongst others, marcellus has been a blessing to have as a fount of information and it's just good to know that there are experienced and novice seasonaires alike there to help you out.
I would agree with livetoski though about getting your skates on. Almost all of my applications are going to go off today followed by a mid-November trip to Switzerland in the hope of getting work. If all else fails, I shall be flying to Chambery and touring some resorts at the beginning of December.

Richiavo, you've got some time to go yet to match a family friend who is setting out this year on her 20th consecutive ski season! She works with the Ski Club of Great Britain and basically says to them every year, "send me somewhere new", to which they oblige!

missnatnat, If you fancy it go for it. When I did my first season I didn't really know what I wanted to do other than spend a season in the snow. I started applying for jobs in about Novemeber which is really late but I was lucky and I got an interview at the end of November and flew out a week later. I was working for SkiPlan/Equity and ended up in Les Deux Alpes. I'm still here!! I decided that I didn't want to go back to the UK so I didn't.
Send as many applications out as you can, as soon as possible. As people have said above people drop out at the last minute so you might be lucky! If not this year then go for it next year.
