Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hey Guys!

Im 22, F, and I have just got a job in Verbier for the winter as a Restaurant Manager
I am a complete newby at seasons and snow!!
I have decided to learn to snowboard first rather than ski... (mainly because it looks cooler!!) Very Happy

Any advice for a first timer?

Tiffani x

Nah, I just liked the look of boarding rather than ski'ing (and my legs are stuck firmly onto the same thing - don't fancy spending my learning life doing the splits!! lol)

Im having a few lessons in England just to get the hang of things - then learn the rest on the actual snow!! Very Happy

I don't remember the last time I ever saw anyone do the splits on skis and I teach lots of beginners.

TiffaniBarrett, Good for you, you will have a fabulous time in Verbier. Do try to go for the ski rather than the snowboard option, you'll find that more people ski (I promise it's cool) than board in Verbier. All good luck and have a brilliant time. Smile

TiffaniBarrett, Ignore these luddites, do what you want and snowboard your a$$ off. You won't break your arms, but do get the wrist guards and make sure your gloves fit over them. Get some impact shorts too, they'll save you getting a bum like a baboon (you WILL get some bruises) and even if you don't fall over too hard it makes sitting on the snow (and you WILL sit on the snow alot) more comportable and warmer.

Enjoy your season, work front-of-house well at the hotel and have fun!

I'm gonna be working out in Verbier too as a ski instructor this season, first time (although have been for a few weeks before - so can also recommend Farinet Apres!)

Can't wait! Very Happy

Also get those street skater type knee pads. They're great for beginner snowboarding. You haven't exactly picked the easiest resort to learn in though.

Swissie Thanks so much, would be great to have someone who knows the place well!! Is she a skier or boarder?

TiffaniBarrett, She's a skier, but that wouldn't worry her. You'll find there are so many people your age in Verbier and will have a really fun time, there is great camaraderie. She is in London ATM but will get her on to Snowheads when she returns. When are you arrivong in Verbier?

Congrats on the new job, like the others have said I am sure you will love it. Skiing is far cooler than boarding cause we dont use the middle of the piste as a deck chair to enjoy the vista!

snowplowed, yeah because skiers NEVER stop en-mass in the middle of a piste and wave their poles about like idiots... Give a skier a ski pole and he'll immediately point at something with it, no matter how close it may be.

Congrats on the job. You will love it: Verbier is one of the best places to spend the winter and has a great ski/snowboard seasonnaire community.

Otherwise, what is this, 1995? Can people knock it off with the ski vs snowboard thing? There are a handful of genuine reasons to ski rather than snowboard in Verbier and they all kick in well above beginner level - like months of slope time. The hike out of Stairway and round the lac de Cleuson are the obvious candidates but otherwise, it's all good.

TiffaniBarrett,

Just a little tip.

I wouldnt write anything (mention your employer) on any social media website or forums when you are under contract with an employer you may find yourself out of a job before you start. Just a warning !

So i would advise you to edit out your employer here..

TiffaniBarrett, Verbier is an amazing place, but really comes alive on.... skis. They're so liberating, and make so much more of the mountain accessible. Have a great season either way!

Every single person on FB and Twitter that I have found is writing alllll about who they are and where they are working - even seasonairres that are returning for their 2nd/3rd season. Not sure it is that much of an issue but thanks for the heads up Happy
