5/08/13 - Saas Fee

So obviously I found out the place that I am going to be working this winter is Saas Fee, Switzerland. 

I had never heard of this little place before, but I have since been looking online to see what goes on in this little skiing village. 





As you can see by the 3rd picture Saas Fee is located extremely close to the Swiss Alps. 

The 4th picture is a map of the slope runs, no idea what I'm looking at but hopefully ill know all the runs well enough by the time I'm back.

04/08/13 - The Company


So the company I am working for is a company called Ski Total. I had never heard of them before the whole application/interview process. This is probably due to me never going on a skiing holiday, or ever even looking to do so. 

I will first make a note of everything I know about the company so far to this day. And then when I've finished my stint with them, I will do the same to see what more I've learnt. 


Ski total is a skiing holiday company - obviously. They have been established now for over 75 years now I believe offering holidays to Italy, Switzerland, Austria & France. 

They are part of a group who's sister companies are Esprit Ski and Inghams. 

Ski Total offer ski chalet holidays for couples, groups and families. Which include children too. 

So far to this day I only know the basics, but after spending half a year working with the company I'm sure there will be a lot to find out.




04/08/13 - Contract




So I've had my contract for a few weeks now, and found out that the resort is Saas Fee in Switzerland that I will be heading out to. 

I fly out on the 29th of November 2013. 

I really can't wait!
