Hey Tam,

When do you get down to the snow? There should be a few of us going down for opening weekend and quite often during the season. Do you know what job you got yet?

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! smile
I’m working in tickets/guest services starting June 11th!

Just a bit of what i’ve done recently: Keen on the travel aspect of my life at the moment. Spent last year in America working for Disney. Came back home in January & decided a fulltime career was not on the cards for me yet. Haha. So yeah.

I’m still a beginner/intermediate snowboarder, but hopefully that’ll change by September!!

No worries, find someone decent and latch onto them and by a few weeks in you’ll be keeping up. (as long as there is snow on the ground). Ticket sales should be ok. Might be a bit repetitive but at least you get to be on snow and can go shredding on your time off. I guess most snow jobs are pretty average but you pay that price to live at the snow.

Full time careers are good for the money and that you get to be at home with family and friends but there is less snowboarding lol.
