I really need to work on my "get caught snoozing by an over excited chairlift" technique, do you have any plans for that in your series please?

Hi Monica, I went through similar with being scared of the ice and tensing up. It wasn't helping that my skis were just too wide for the ice and my less than perfect technique.
Have you done the drill where you hold your poles together out in front of you with your elbows down by your sides as if your poles are a tray and your holding the tray out as if to offer someone a drink? If you have not, try it, pretend you are a waiter, for some inexplicable reason someone has put a $50 dollar bill down the front of your ski boots between the tongue and your shin, you have to anchor that money in place whilst you ski down the mountain offering people drinks from the tray. Take it nice and slow, after all a good waiter glides gently round the restaurant, You should keep the poles nice and level so you don't spill the drinks, and don't lean back in your boots or the money will blow away and so will your chance of a tip. :-)

Never skied La Tania but have skied last week of march/first of April the last two years in Are Sweden and had powder conditions both times. Last minute deals that seemed too good to be true both times but turned out excellent.

I have not been aware of many Swiss ski jobs unless with TO's or chalet companies. As you have German perhaps a German ski area might be worth looking into?

I would seriously consider Are in Sweden, it would appear to meet all your criteria, check out various threads in the scandinavia forum and if you want any other info send me a message. I have no connection to TO's etc I just love the place and keep going back.

Glad to hear you've not killed yourself!!!

Hi!

I would start by googling "natives" or similar for employment info abroad, do you have a second language?
Good luck.

P.T Thats great.
