Do people still work in chalets?
Years ago I watched a TV show about, mainly, students who worked in chalets (or ski lodges if you want to call them that!) doing the cooking and cleaning but also getting a lot of ski time! Does this still happen or have things become far more professional now with full time staff etc?

I can only speak to the resorts in the Banff/Lake Louise area.
__________________The majority of the staff are students or of student age. Many of the kids (I can say that as I'm old enough to be their mum) are 18-25 and typically are from Australia, NZ, England and Europe. It's not uncommon for these folks to be skiing several times a week depending on the type of work they are doing. |

I'd love to do something like that, but I'm stuck taking my college education out in sunny California, where we don't have anything but sunshine for 360 days a year.

Of course students still work in ski lodges. My cousin who is in college does it during the ski holidays part time in Canada and he does not hold a ski instructor certification. He just had to pass a test to see if he qualified.
Of course, to get a job like that its easier to go to smaller resorts since they have less money and are more likely to hire you
