When you get to set your foot on a ski resort, you might instantly feel the cool ambiance of fun and frolic as you enter the welcoming doors. Surely, you have had planned in advance your itinerary during such a winter holiday, making sure that you haven’t missed anything to be done while in the freezing terrain cruise.

But while you may be too excited and may be looking forward to all the remarkable things snowflakes have to offer, there are other people within the ski resort who are so serious they can’t squeeze in even just a small amount of fun in their daily rigorous routines. These people are those who hold ski resort jobs, who ensure that you do enjoy your stay in the ski resort of your choice.

Generally, ski resort work is divided into two groups: those that will require you to work on the snow itself, and those that offer service within the resort. Both types of skiing jobs can be then spread out to various categories but are both vital in the successful operation of the skiing resort.

The jobs available on the service segment of the ski resort will generally deal with basic skills regarding hotel and restaurant management. The ski resort jobs classified under the service side would require possible employment candidates’ sufficient knowledge in preparation of food and viands for ski resort customers, table and floor area facilitation and bartending. Other ski resort work in this category would be ski shop staffing, cleanliness and sanitation handling, and other service-related maintenance within the ski resort.

The hotel positions, which are a sub-category of service-related skiing jobs, will include early bookings and hotel reservations, check-in, valet and room service. These positions do not necessarily require a lot of employment experience; more weight is given on good grooming and pleasing personality, and of course, impressive work ethics.

The ski resort work related directly with snow, on the other hand, requires a certain level of expertise as compared to the service-related segment. These jobs vary from ski and snow board instructor, ski shop technicians, ski patrolling, and snow shoveling. While it is really not necessary, it would be an advantage when you apply to ski resort jobs with a certification from certified accrediting organizations to ensure that you meet the standards of the job requirement.

While it sounds more fun to immerse yourself to ski resort jobs that will require you to work on the snow terrain, the latter is generally more rigorous than the former. Granted, you must possess an above-average skiing skills; but you must also know how to impart your skiing ability to beginners who look forward to improving themselves.

For ski aficionados, a winter vacation is a highly awaited event. Everyone enjoys the thrill of swooshing downhill. Of course, the luxury resorts in the Rocky Mountains offer the best winter vacations. They get a plentiful amount of fresh powder and have a variety of slopes.

Vail, Colorado, the largest ski mountain in North American, can be considered the ultimate luxury ski resort. Hotels with upscale amenities and quality dining are the perfect setting for skiers looking to get pampered. Vail has fifteen day spas for some supreme indulgence, snowmobiling and a ski school.

The Arrabelle Resort at Vail has European-inspired architecture, together with timely elegance and Austrian charm. Guestrooms feature alpine d’or with fireplace. The Rock Resorts spa features a full range of inviting treatments. Dining can be casual or inspired French cuisine at the Centre V Brasserie.

Park City is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Rooms at the Goldener Hirsch Inn offer sunken tubs and king-sized beds from Austria, complete with down comforters. Many rooms have wood-burning fireplaces. The Goldener Hirsch Restaurant offers an extensive menu for groups or more intimate dining.

The Hotel Park City is one of the top Park City resorts. This all-suite hotel has 100 spacious accommodations with king-sized beds, marbled bathrooms, private patios and mountain views. The on-site Ruth Chris Steakhouse offers steaks, seafood and tantalizing desserts. There is first-class skiing and snow boarding on three different mountains, including a ski in/ski out Nordic course.

The Sundance Resort is a fine Utah skiing resort, but it offers much more. A monthly author series and the annual film festival keeps bringing people back on a regular basis. The Resorts Tree Restaurant offers organic cuisine in accordance with its earth-to-table?philosophy.

Hemsedal is a ski resort city in Norway. It is probably best known for it’s large alpine skiing area. Hemsedal is a municipality in Buskerud county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Hallingdal. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Trøim. In 1897, Hemsedal was separated from the municipality of Gol to become a municipality of its own.

Hemsedal is the second largest ski resort in Norway and has the largest number of millionaires per capita. From the museum farm Øvre Løkji, there are several trails up into the mountains.

The Norwegian word hems (”bed built in a small loftroom”) is named (ironically) after the valley of Hemsedal. The Old Norse form of the name was Hemsudalr. The first element is the genitive case of a river name Hemsa (now Hemsil) and the last element is dalr which means “valley” or “dale”. The meaning of the river name is unknown.

PLACE TO VISIT

The Hemsedal Bygdetun is located at Øvre Løkji in the village of Ulsåk. The museum has houses and artifacts from the first part of the 18th century and all the way to modern times. The farm is located in the middle of an agricultural landscape formed by old methods.

The waterfall Rjukandefossen located in the vicinity of the village Tuv.

During every autumn, winter and part of spring tourists travel to Hemsedal for skiing.

WHAT TO DO

One of the best rated ski resorts in Norway. 41 slopes and 18 lifts!

Afterski and nightlife is comparable to or better than the big resorts in the European Alps! Other Alpine facts:

The unique mountain scenery gives Hemsedal a decidedly “alpine” feel. It has the highest alpine point in all of Scandinavia, 1500 metres above sea level, and a vertical drop of 810 metres.

Variety and diversity characterises Hemsedal’s network of pistes. The pistes are wide, well groomed and suited to all levels of expertise. Everyone can enjoy the clean fresh air, the panoramic view and the descent from the highest mountain, as there are green pistes all the way down to the base area, as well as more advanced runs.

Hemsedal on world’s top five to go boarding! The snowboard/ terrain park is considered one of Europe’s best, known for its high standard and challenges for all. Big jumps, fun boxes, half pipe, two quarter pipes, rails and more attractions make this an ideal playgroound for the thrillseeker. There is also a separate park for beginners.
