Job Details
COME AND JOIN OUR TEAM!
Ski Amis are a family run business which has been operating in the French Alps since 1989. We have grown a lot during this time, which means each year our team of staff gets a little bigger but we still try to maintain the family feeling and to do our best to make sure everyone has a great time during their season with us. Our quality demands are high – we expect a caring attitude from our team because at the end of the day, the job is to make sure our clients have the best ski holiday ever and come back again and again with us. However, we do look after our staff and make sure you have plenty of free ski time, a good package and nice accommodation to give you the best possible time for your season.Our chalets are in the French Alps in a number of good quality resorts in the Three Valleys and Paradiski areas. Our team is selected on their personalities and dedication to quality – if you’re just looking to ski and party for the season and do the minimum you need to get by, then go and look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you want to get some job satisfaction, happy clients, good tips, good accommodation and a good crowd to work with as well as getting plenty of free skiing time, then you’ve come to the right place.
