Still kicking around here Dave! I remember speaking to you previously about Niederau- was where I done my first season as a resort rep with DirectSki.com
How are things with yourself? - It's a tall order indeed but my career at home has been within IT support/networks so I was curious to see if there was similar work out in the mountains. |

Good evening! It's been quite some time since my last post on this forum back when I was looking for work/info on resorts when I done ski repping... I'm back again and looking for some more specific work in a ski resort.
Been searching for computer analysts/network engineer type work- preferably within a chalet. Do any of you happen to know the best place to look for such work? Thanks! :D |

I've always worn a lid and I always will. It's not all about how good a skier you are yourself - It's also about those behind you who might have lost control, hurtling toward you and crack you in the back of the head.
No ta. |

Have a look at Ben's Bus for transfers :)I've never had a problem with them and they're pretty cheap!

I can only ski but I always go back country and hiking with my mates who are all boarders.
From this experience I can say - Always ski. They rely on my skis to flatten out the snow on a traverse and if they ever need to take their board off (having hit a flat/become stuck somewhere) they'll sink straight down into the snow. I'm struggling to find any benefits touring with boarders, other than the awesome company of my friends. |

Of course! Some parts of the run in Saalbach were relatively flat and meant you had to walk a little bit to get going again on the nearest down-slope but so long as you carry enough speed before the flats, you should be alright! :D
Little tip.. Lying down on the toboggan instead of sitting upright makes you go faster.. also makes it more exciting! :D |

Never tried it in Mayrhofen, but I done it numerous times in Saalbach! Similar idea, piste basher ride to the top (either sitting in the basket attached to the front of the beast, or standing in the trailer behind) full dinner and plenty drinks, followed by a 5km toboggan ride back to the bottom.
I'd done it so many times because I was a rep - I myself as well as any guests who came with absolutely loved it, it's hilarious! As for the safety, sure there are a lot of dark areas (our run had lights every so often and your eyes adapt anyway) .. Watch out for pile ups in these areas! |
