:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:.........you lucky so and so :D

Thanks guys.. Really.. So excited and I cannot wait!

Of course, i'll keep you updated on the training dates, locations and the courses i'll be covering etc just for a bit of general information for you to read about and talk about if you so wish to!

Well done! Do a good job, and you will open up future opps. And then maximise your skiing, it is the best chance you will have to get to your highest level.

Is the whole of J2Ski on the move? New jobs, new businesses, a brewery, it's all happening.

2010 is a good year for all of us it seems Dave Mac!

Anyways, minor question to those of you who have done a winter season working abroad - or even to those of you who know about such things..

I am wanting to take my mobile with me, obviously.. Although I phoned my service provider (Orange) and they offer no holiday plans or anything of the sort thus rendering my phone useless abroad for 5 months.

Does anyone know if it'd be a better idea to buy a sim card when I get to Austria and stick with an Austrian network for the time i'm there? It's merely to text back home - nothing else.
Or should I fish around in the UK for a service provider who can offer me a working sim abroad for the period?

Thanks guys! :D

P.S - You may come across a good number of questions from me regarding this experience!

I appreciate all of your help as always!
