Any idea's of a snow sure resorts that aren't going to break the bank??

Would steer well clear of bar/chalet work if possible

What resort did you work in?

what did you do?

how did you find your job?

We are getting married August 30th as it's the date we met, but we are both prepared to wait until the ski season starts for the honeymoon, Skiing will be the most important thing on our minds! we have both been backpacking in our time and don't mind slumming it slightly if it was to give us the best skiing there is to have. I would be happy to work 5days a week as long as I get 2 days off to ski, we could afford to just go somewhere and ski for the season but then we would struggle to be able to travel afterwards so the thought behind working is that we will be able to travel after the season has finished, we want to end up in Oz as I have a lot of family that live out there.

The other option is to visit several resorts on our travels a week or so at a time which could be fun, I really have so many ideas but can't decide on what to do.

I had looked at St Moritz for our Christmas trip but we decided on Cervinia so that I could afford a second trip at the end of Jan.

I am thinking Canada for the season so I can catch some Ice hockey to then down to Mexico for some scuba diving then South America for some travelling and try to get some Skiing in Argentina

Not sure how easy it will be to get work in Canada though only just starting to look into it all really but it's something we both really want to do.

where would it be?? I am getting married next year and our honeymoon will be a ski holiday, my mrs has said she would rather ski the best Ski area in the world than have a big wedding!! so now the search is on!!

we are even talking of doing the whole season some where if we can sort work out as we will be taking a year out after the wedding to travel :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I stayed at Petis Palais at Christmas, the location is the best in resort for getting up the mountain and the food was great, we had read some very mixed reviews about it but we had an amazing time, the staff were all really helpfull when my girlfriend got hurt on the slopes, I will be return here due to the great time we had and the amazing skiing across the whole mountain

Turin has actually had more snow that. we have had in sauze d'oulx just on the bus back to the airport full report to follow
