WORKING ON THE SLOPES!


A ski or snowboarding season abroad is an excellent opportunity to gain some valuable skills in a wide variety of areas, whilst working in a new environment with a new people.


If you are unsure what to do when you graduate, I would encourage you contemplate a season abroad. Not only does it look good on your CV, but it also provides you with an opportunity


to progress in language, catering, cultural and social skills. The season stretches from November through to April, and applicants normally start applying at the beginning of May, however positions are available throughout the season. No previous ski or snowboard experience is needed, however it is encouraged.


Now an important question is where? Depending on your preferences - it is always snowing somewhere! First time applicants tend to stick to the Alps, therefore you’re not too far away if any


trips home do need to be made! (Fingers crossed they don’t). The world snowboard guide suggests St Anton in Austria is the best resort overall, but again it depends on your personal preferences – if you know any French then of course it’s logical to head to France, where your language skills will be recognised when applying.


Bulgaria is a top-rated resort by a lot of companies in terms of value for money. Val d’Isere is recognised for its size and is a good resort for first timers.
