Ski Movies For All

Ski resort jobs come in a wide variety of flavours; from the apparent elegant glamour of the ski instructor cruising the slopes with his clients, to the plucky chalet helper, cleaning out the toilets after the paying guests have gone.  The seasonal nature of skiing in most resorts means that the work will only last about 4 months at the most for the vast majority of resort workers, but by the same token it has opened doors to many youngsters to break the chains of the normal 9-5 for many years.
