Anyone else been to Morzine/ Portes Du Solei if so what did you think of it?

Hey Dobo, have you checked out the jobs on Natives.co.uk? I heard a couple of resorts around France were no longer hiring guides, & I think one of them is around Les Troi Vallees, so hopefully you'll be ok for work. That resort sounds sick, dude; when are you heading over? I'm still trying to organise my flights to Whistler, for the Tellus Festival, etc, in 2007...

Heading over mid/late November...Ill hear at the end of this month if I scored a job at a luxury chalet...if not then yeah ill have to try get a job with one of the UK tour operators (got a uk passport)...The natives site is pretty good but all the people on the forums there are fuckin kooks. Whilster should be sweet man!!

HAHAHA, yeah, I totally agree about the natives forums, etc... Even the Muskateers from sb.com agree to that!!!

Yeah no shit Shred..those guys care more about grammar than they do snowboarding/skiing...I wanna go Jay and Silent Bob on their asses and lay the smack down on them !!!

"Hey are you the guy who corrected my grammar on a snow forum"

"yes"

*SMACK*

only another 91581928198251 to go!!!

How long are you staying in whilstler Shred?

I'd like to stay there for a couple of weeks, then go see family in Oregon. Before that trip, however, I would like to be in Las Vegas, for the 2007 SIA show (in late January), as well as a trip to Colorado, to chat with the guys, from Venture Snowboards... That's the plan, anyways!

kia ora Dobo,

I've worked six seasons in France and seen that Guides don't get much time to themselves,you work in the Chalet in the morning...Guide most of the day in all weather and hungover.. then see their faces back in the Chalet at night, not to mention the bars later!

I found the best job was to be a Chalet Host and only that. You run the ship,claim tips and ride!
