Welcome!
This page is dedicated to helping you find your dream job in the Alps. I have poured every ounce of knowledge from my personal experiences and undertaken extensive research to create a digestible, easy-to-read Ski Season Handbook.
Ski seasons are an epic opportunity and are open to absolutely everyone. Are you craving a career break? Fresh out of uni? Looking to improve your skiing? If you love the idea of working in the mountains, meeting new people and getting paid to ski, then you are in the right place.
What Does a Ski Season Entail?
Ski seasons involve working in stunning, world-class resorts where you will live, ski and apres for 5-6 months of the year. Seasonal jobs aren’t your average gig, however, they are intense, consist of long hours and can be stressful. The highs far outweigh the lows and you will enjoy the benefits of hitting the slopes almost every day while earning money and making lifelong friends. It is truly an epic lifestyle.
HOWEVER, seasonal jobs can be hard to find, and it might feel a little daunting to know where to start if you have never done a ski season before. So, I have created the ultimate guide to help you on your way to securing that DREAM position and to prevent you from feeling completely overwhelmed.
