Try chamsocial/chamshare, people are starting to advertise vacancies. Make an effort with CV as lots of competition at this point of season.
Have to say am not a big fan of snow making, one of the least environmentally friend things anyone could wish to engage in, even if when accounting for some recent efficiency improvements. There is a natural cycle to winter that people should learn to respect. Early season you ski high alpine pastures which require little cover and bin down. As season progresses the lower slopes open up and glaciers become skiable and touring can start. Towards end of season people need to learn to bin down again. Enjoy the natural environment and the snow conditions that come with it.
Six year old skier sued in Austria

Any law by definition should apply to all. Had the lady injured the 6 year old am sure someone would of wanted her hung or shot. Am afraid lady has every right as the aggrieved party here. Without knowing the circumstances seems clear to me that the supervising adult should be accountable based on diminished responsibilities of a minor.
Les Contamines is a great resort, with both great piste skiing and plenty of offpiste and pretty snow sure through to mid April. Also make staying in St Gervais a good option which is a great little spa town.

Well the Alps definitely has a chill in the air once you get out of the sun. 20cm of snow was forecast overnight; visually seems to have reached about 3000m. Looking at the state of the glaciers and the size of the holes we really need to be hoping for a wet autumn if there is any hope of getting out on them in early season.
Arguably best offpiste in Alps, top resort.Not convinced that would of been the first life I would of replaced though.
Am not sure I agree with 'grading a mountain', sort of defeats the point of skiing which is learning how to adapt to terrain and snow conditions. Am afraid they have missed the point with that one.

I agree is worth having boots fitted but beyond that money would be better spent seeing an osteopath and realigning body through appropriate stretching and exercises. Unless you have had a serious injury seems a bit bizarre to me that you try and manage a problem rather than address the root cause.
