Working As an Instructor…… Working as an Instructor…… Its never too early to start thinking about what you are going to do when you qualify… it is best to keep it in mind at all times during the course – remember the course is the prime opportunity to impress local ski or snowboard schools! Here is some great advice for you on where to start! USA When should I apply? May to July Which resorts should I apply to? Only a small number of resorts in the US are offering to sponsor H2B Visa’s (Visa’s for people who aren’t students) but far more resorts are offering jobs to people with a J1 Visa. Go through the following website, get the names of all the resorts you’re interested in working at then check their employment/Jobs policy: http://www.skiresortguide.com/ Do I need a Visa? Unless you have a green card to work in the United States of America, your chance of gaining employment in a ski resort is limited. However, all is not lost as there are two visa options available for internationals, the J-1 Visa and the H2B Visa. J-1 Visa Must be a registered student Must apply for visa through work and travel program. The travel programs include obtaining the appropriate visa so you can work, a guaranteed job for the season with a wage and employee benefits. These companies are listed in our guide Endless Winter – your guide to working in ski resorts. The J-1 Visa is valid for a four month work period and 30 days for travel H2B Visa Those who have previously worked in a resort on a J-1Visa are sometimes asked to return and this will be under the H2B Visa. As the resort will be sponsoring you under this visa you are not authorised to work in any other capacity other than what you are employed to do. In general, resorts won’t accept first-timers on this visa if you wish to undertake general work, however ski and snowboard instructors may be accepted, partly due to the fact they are in short supply. How long is the season? The season runs from November through to April but this depends on the snow. Many resorts hold recruitment fairs a month or so before the season start. What wage can I expect? Depending on experience you can expect between $12 - $20ph but the Americans are very generous with tipping! Accommodation Generally your accommodation will be provided by the resort and they’ll take a weekly amount from your wages……don’t worry it won’t be extortionate. CANADA When should I apply? As soon as possible, the IE Canada visa is usually released in December/January/February. It does vary each year. So you do need to plan ahead for the following year. In 2012 there were approximately 5000 for UK citizens, all were taken by May. The best thing is to start researching the process. You can do this by going to the Government of Canada website here. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/index.aspx?view=d Which resorts should I apply to? Apply to as many resorts as possible! Ask us for a list of contacts. Do I need a VISA? To work legally in the Canadian ski fields you must have a work visa or working holiday visa. It is known as the IE Visa. Canada has a working holiday visa available to citizens aged 18 to 30 years inclusive from a number of countries including Australia, New Zealand, Britain (students only), Ireland, Japan, Finland, France, Germany, Korea, The Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden and the USA. How long is the season? The season runs from November through to April but this depends on the snow. Many resorts hold recruitment fairs a month or so before the season start. What wage can I expect? Depending on experience you can expect between $12 - $20ph but the Americans and Canadians are very generous with tipping! Accommodation Generally your accommodation will be provided by the resort and they’ll take a weekly amount from your wages……don’t worry it won’t be extortionate EUROPE When should I apply? May – October Which countries can I work in? Austria Andorra (possibly) UK Spain Italy (for a few weeks a season) Slovakia Poland Slovenia Bulgaria Greece Switzerland Germany Czech Republic Sweden Finland Norway Which resorts should I apply to? Unless you have language skills I would concentrate on resorts in the following countries: Austria (St Anton, Solden, Mayerhofen) Andorra (Pas De Le Casa, Soldeu, Pal-Arinsal) – May need to take an ‘enhancement’ course Bulgaria (Borovets, Bansko) Sweden (Are, Riksgransen) Norway (Hemesdal, Geilo, Trysil) Italy (Interski – Aosta Valley) Switzerland (Verbier, Davos, St Moritz, Champery, Zermatt) If you have language skills then Europe is your Oyster……with the exception of France! Having graduated from a Peak Leaders course you will be looked upon favorably by European Snowsport who have schools in Zermatt and Verbier. Unfortunately, being a first timer means you won’t get a great deal of work…..probably just the peak times like the school holidays. www.europeansnowsport.com Also, if you’re not looking to work an entire season then working for Interski could be a great experience. They will pay you £200 a week plus accommodation, food, liftpass and travel…you’ll probably be responsible for teaching school groups. If you’re interested then go to http://www.interski.co.uk/employment.php asap and get in contact. Do I need a VISA? Not if you’re British or hold a European passport. However, if you’re working in Switzerland then you will need to obtain a work permit through your employer. Citizens 18-30 years inclusive from Non-EU countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada have working holiday visas with some European countries. These are mentioned under the appropriate European country. It should be noted that Ancestry Visas, Right of Abode and UK Working Visas are not normally sufficient to work in EU countries. How long is the season? Depending on the resort the season runs from December through to April but this depends on factors like snowfall, aspect, altitude and latitude. Some Scandinavian resorts are open until June! What wage can I expect? The amount obviously depends on which country and specifically which resort you are working in. If you work in Verbier then you can expect 22chf an hour as a first-time instructor (around £16). But remember rent will be around £100p/w and a beer costs £5 a pint! Accommodation With the exception of Scandinavian resorts you won’t be working for the resort, you’ll be working for a privately owned school. Therefore you will usually need to provide your own accommodation and food; obviously the cost differs massively depending on which resort you decide to work at. In a popular Swiss resort you could easily spend £250 a week on rent, food and a few beers each week; if you worked in a smaller Austrian resort your expenses would be half that amount; and in Bulgaria you could happily live on £60 per week. JAPAN When should I apply? June – October Which resorts should I apply to? Japan has more ski and snowboard resorts than any other country in the world, with over 600 resorts dotted over the Japanese islands, from the northern island of Hokkaido to the main southern island of Kyushu. Japan is renowned for its epic powder which tends to settle on mountains in the Northern islands more consistently. Check-out the following site for loads of useful info: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/working-at-japanese-ski-resorts.html Do I need a VISA? To work in Japan you will need a work permit where an employer will sponsor you to work for them or a working holiday visa. At present, Japan has a working holiday visa available to citizens aged 18 to 30 years from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom (25 years) and The Republic of Korea. Applicants must enter Japan within three months of issue date of the visa. A period of six months is usually granted at the port of entry. This may be extended up to another six months by immigration authorities in Japan to their home country. To apply for a working holiday visa contact your nearest Japanese Consulate or visit www.mofa.go.jp. You will need a valid first-aid qualification to work as an instructor in Japan!! How long is the season? The season generally starts around mid-December and goes through until around mid-April but this does depend on the white stuff. Some resorts open longer thanks to the help of snowmaking machines. The peak of the season is from mid- January until the end of February. What wage can I expect? Between 600 – 1,500yen per hour depending on experience (£5 - £13). As you do not require an instructor qualification to teach skiing or snowboarding in Japan you can expect to earn a wage closer to the top of this guide. Accommodation Ski Resorts in Nagano, Niigata, Gifu, Guma Dormitory style Accommodation, Meals, and a Season Ski-pass are all provided FREE by the Resorts. Ski Resorts in Hokkaido Dormitory style Accommodation and a Season ski-pass are provided FREE by the Resorts. Meals are provided at subsidised rates (approx. 1000yen per day). Summer Resorts in Okinawa, Kyushu, and Honshu Dormitory style Accommodation and Meals are provided at subsidised rates. Summer resorts do NOT offer free meals or accommodation as of 2010.

  • A Network-Based Approach for the Study of Criticalities in Ski-Resorts
    International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble – Chamonix Mont-Blanc - 2013 A network-based approach for the study of criticalities in ski-resorts Valerio De Biagi1,2*, Barbara Frigo1,2 and Bernardino Chiaia1,2 1 Dept. of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, ITALY 2Mountain Risk Research Team – MRR Team, Verrès (AO) – Italy ABSTRACT: The correct management of ski-resorts requires wide knowledge in mountain hazards, as well as a large experience. Usually ski-resorts cover a surface that encompasses more than one side of a mountain (or more than one valley); for this reason, the meteorological conditions may vary locally and rapid decisions have to be taken in order to ensure the safety of the skiers. Any intervention on the structure of the resort may entail cascade events and other critical situations. For example, a temporary closure of a lift may create large queues in other parts of the ski-area. In the same way, a closure of a ski-slope might engender overcrowding in other ski runs. All these situations are potential sources of risk. We propose an approach to the study of criticalities in ski-resorts by means of transportation network approaches based on the ability of the skiers and the grade of the ski run. An example is made on the Antagnod branch of MonteRosaSki resort. The effects of a sudden interruption of part of it, i.e., ski- slope closure or lift temporary interruption, are simulated. KEYWORDS: Ski-resort management, Graph theory, Criticalities. others (2005) made a statistics of the average 1 INTRODUCTION speeds of skiers in three different ski resorts in the US.

  • Vision for the Future Overseas Labour.Indd
    VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF FARMING ACCESS TO A COMPETENT AND FLEXIBLE WORKFORCE Delivering for farmers and for the public INTRODUCTION The issue of immigration has loomed large in the debate over the UK’s membership of the EU. Following the decision to leave that was taken in the referendum of June 2016, we will soon establish new arrangements for controlling our borders, based on an expectation that immigration into the UK will ultimately be reduced. The agricultural and horticultural sectors, and indeed the wider food industry, will fi nd themselves particularly impacted by these changes. Farming relies on a large number of overseas workers, primarily from the EU, who have been able to come to the UK and take up work – both seasonal and permanent – under the principle of free movement of labour within the Single Market. With Brexit that movement will be curtailed. But it is critical that farming’s ability to produce a safe and aff ordable supply of food here in the UK is not similarly reduced. There are a number of aspects to this challenge. We will continue to look at ways of improving the ef ciency and productivity of our industry, harnessing technology and where possible adopting automated processes which reduce the reliance on labour. We will continue to work with other organisations in improving the appeal of agriculture as off ering a high-skilled, enjoyable and well rewarded career path, attracting more of our domestic workforce. But we will also continue to press the case for access to a competent and flexible workforce that meets the needs of a diverse farm sector that has signifi cant requirements for both permanent and seasonal labour, and for higher and lower-skilled workers.

SHEILA JEFFREYS Department of Political Science, The University of Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia This article examines a recent tendency amongst researchers of sex tourism to include women within the ranks of sex tourists in destinations such as the Caribbean and Indonesia. It argues that a careful attention to the power relations, context, meanings and effects of the behaviours of male and female tourists who engage in sexual relations with local people, makes it clear that the differences are profound. The similarities and differences are analysed here with the conclusion that it is the different positions of men and women in the sex class hierarchy that create such differences. The political ideas that influence the major protagonists in this debate to include or exclude women will be examined. The article ends with a consideration of the problematic implications of arguing that women do it too.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

  • Exploring Working Holiday Makers' Motivations in Australia
    Exploring Working Holiday Makers’ Motivations in Australia An investigation on the factors influencing Working Holiday Makers’ decision to engage with the 88 days of specified regional work criteria Martina Frappa International Migration and Ethnic Relations Bachelor Thesis 15 credits Spring 2019: IM245L Supervisor: Henrik Emilsson Wordcount: 13,155 Abstract This study investigates the reasons why Working Holiday Makers (WHMs) in Australia decide to complete the 88 days of specified regional work to obtain a Second Working Holiday (WH) visa. The research follows a qualitative approach via the use of semi-structed interviews on a sample of fifteen current or former WHMs. The resulting data are analysed in connection to the theoretical framework of migrants’ role in bifurcated labour markets, with a further focus on the micro-level neoclassical economics principles and the concept of self-improvement through hardship. It is argued that the 88-day scheme represented for all the interviewees a form of investment to achieve a greater goal. The findings revealed that, while only a few completed the 88 days driven by the desire to achieve self-actualisation, most of the informants were driven by an economic rationale: some focused on the short-term financial benefits of a further year of work in the country, while others planned to use their Second WH as a pathway towards permanent residency.

Still hungry? night-time dining adventures are offered as well. Gwyn’s High Alpine – This long–time locals’ favorite spot at the top of the Alpine Springs Lift is popular for breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros and cinnamon French toast.
