However if you are feeling adventurous, head over to the USA or Canada. Both are well known for their excellent resorts, lots of snow and provide a different experience culturally. Something to note when applying to either is that it is important you get a visa well in advance. Some companies do supply you with a visa, some don’t, so it is important to do your research!
Next on the list is of course what jobs are on offer within each resort. Again it is important to do your research and find the best job which matches your particular skills. If you’re a bit of a wild
one, who likes to party and can carry on through hangovers, then working at a bar may be the job for you. If your prefer something daytime-orientated then working in a chalet may be more appropriate. Jobs range from ski lift assistants to nannies, chefs, resort reps, waiters and waitresses. A quick hint when applying is that it is important to look at the perks each job supplies – for example if you are a chalet assistant, you get a ski pass, skis, accommodation, food and a small wage thrown in! Not bad eh! Have a look into each job description because previous experience of any kind is always noted, so bear this in mind.
Finally it is always worth mentioning the amazing night life. Generally ski resorts are full of a lot of graduates and young professionals looking for a different kind of experience before entering a full time job, so the night life is pretty awesome!
