When to apply

The skiing season runs from December to about March. If you want to get a job before you go to a resort, the ideal time to apply is around the end of August. This can be a bit tricky if you are already working a summer season but if you are organised enough you can have your winter sorted before you finish the summer by having application forms sent out to you. Don't forget to check if your summer employer has a reciprocal deal with a ski company for staff, or if they have a special arrangement with a company like Season Workers. Season Workers works with most of the major camping companies exclusively to help get their summer staff into ski jobs.
