Types of jobs in Ski Resorts

Reps in any holiday business are the main point of contact in resort for paying clients. You will be expected to troubleshoot problems, deal with difficult requests and usually sell ‘in resort extras’ like après ski events, which you will normally have to organise and run as well. Day to day duties will include running airport transfers on change over days (can be a very very long day), organise ski and board hire, and ensure that chalet staff have everything they need.

This is not the job for people who want a job to simply facilitate a season on the slopes, even less so if you go for a management position.

There is a lot to be said for getting a job in a ski chalet. Once you have is cracked you will get plenty of time out to yourself (except changeover and shopping days). Chalets can vary in size from individually run chalets for 7 or 8 people to big 30 or 40 person chalets. The staff required obviously varies, the small chalets can be individually managed, and the larger ones will employ a permanent manager, chefs and assistants.

Experienced and qualified beauty therapists successfully find jobs in ski resorts each season. Some work for in-resort services and travel around different holiday companies properties, others choose to work as part of an in-house ski operator service.
