Hey

Has anyone been here before? What is the resort like?
I cant wait to get out there with this being my fisrt ski season and what could be the best experience of my life.

Not a huge fan of it aesthetically, but its realatively snowsure, has some great sking on and off piste, plus feeds into the Milkyway, though that can be a bit of a trek on Skis, plus you have Serre Che not far by car\bus and in generall the slopes are not that busy most of the time. Poor lift infrastructure and connection into Milkyway is a down - though theres a shuttle bus to and from Claviere anyway.
Plus the Bombardinos at the lodge at the bottom of the claivere slopes rock.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

if you do ever go for a night out in Claviere - make sure you go to the Karaoke bar - they do flavoured alcoholic sugar cubes! Rocket fuel and sugar rush at the same time

Oh memories! I did my first season there 12 years ago (wow, that's scary!)
You'll have a great time. Its a big hotel so lots of other staff to socialise with. Plenty of other seasonaires in the resort too. The bar in the Rois Mages is decent and right at the bottom of the slopes. Not sure what position you'll hold, generally its hard work, but you'll ski hard and drink hard when you're not working.
The resort is great. Depends on your level but there's really nice intermediate stuff and long runs into Italy. If you're more adventurous, the off piste is superb and the snow stays untracked far longer than in larger resorts. It has a very good snow record too.
Enjoy!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Shorter18, lucky bod - we spent a week in Montgenevre last winter and really enjoyed it. There are some people who post on here who know it much better than me though so hopefully they will be along to impart their wisdom.
