Hi Ross, thanks for your comments. I would check to see what is open as the skiing in Canada doesn’t always start this early. Whistler (the biggest in BC) will not open until November. It would be tough to fly all the way over to Canada to find nothing open, especially when the glacier skiing in Austria is so good right now.

Yes I would love another skigloo but it was a huge amount of work and if I am honest there is a 1% chance of it happening.

I was actually asking myself a couple of days ago whether there would be a skigloo again this winter season. I really enjoyed the times working on it and then there was of course the famous opening party with the great romance corner that didn’t really work. The best thing for this year would be to get some cheap labor to help build it and also build it a little bit different. Let me call my dad to see if he can help with the cheap labor issue. Or does Hitech Export provide skIgloo building services?

Comment on Lifties plan sit-in over buying their own tickets by mat

Hi Katie, what wages would one of your resort staff members get, from and to? I worked in a French hotel years ago in 2 Alpes and the wages were pretty good, you just got no time off at all. I had some mates in the resort who got horrible wages and a fair bit of time off working for tour ops and chalets.

If you work for a tour operator you should get a lift pass as part of your package. These are not always free to the tour operator (the lift pass company usually offers a discounted rate for them). We include local passes as part of what we give staff and they can then upgrade to full area passes at cost price.
