Hello everyone, i am searching for some work or volunteering at some chalet or ski-resort,
- just for an opportunity to live and ski for free in the Alps.
Money is not a big thing for me, i just exited of opportunity to live and work close to the mountains.
I will be able to stay during about 3 months, i have some working skills,and skiing skills for sure.
So if someone will be interested - i can send you my resume with a recent photo.
Or maybe you know someone who needs some stuff...
I am female, thirty y.o., from russia, friendly,sporty, open-minded person.

Hi,
It might be worth taking a look at www.natives.co.uk who list a lot of ski season jobs. Typically you will get your accommodation, food, liftpass and travel paid, plus some pocket money which will cover day-to-day expenses.
Good luck with your season!

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

Hi again,
It is worth as well looking at hotels, restaurants and bars in Courcheval. This is the most popular Russian resort and there are a lot of jobs for fluent English and Russian speakers. Especially look for jobs like reception where your languages will be useful.
Good luck!

naturall ski, Welcome to snowHeads. If you are genuine and looking to work a season then follow Snow and Sunshine advice.
Snow and Sunshine, well done for stepping up and the lack of cynicism, this was becoming painful to watch.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

naturall ski,
If you’re really keen you could call the tourist information office in Madonna di Campiglio and speak to them – they have now employed some Russian speakers. This office maintains a list of temp jobs around the town in bars, hotels, piste, etc
If you want to find the town that that has changed winter population the most in recent years in the Alps/Dolomites you should look at MdC. Almost 60% of ALL private accommodation has been purchased over the last few years, by Russians (at crazy prices), so you should be able to pick up some work if you have English Italian and Russian.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing

Im sure there are some benevolent snowheads who might take you up on your kind offer. You might want to clarify your visitor status in terms of how long you are allowed to stay in Europe.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

I know you said the Alps, but there were some Russian girls working in the Outlet Stores in Silverthorne, Colorado USA the last time I checked. IIRC the manager of the Izod store was Russian. We are doing Chalet Frisco as self-catered this year, but next year might consider a fully catered option in which case I might be able to accommodate someone like yourself. I should add that this is only 4 bedroom Chalet and I would set it up so that whoever worked there got a chance to do a lot of skiing. I got in 90+ days myself last season. PM with resume if you would like me to keep you in mind. I'm in Europe this year, so let me know where you end up and we might have a chance to meet up.

OP, as English is not your first language I think you should be warned that "volunteering" is nixmap's little joke and isn't a term that would normally be used in this context.
You might "volunteer" to help with charity work.
