Winter Leisure Job: More Fun Than Work
Tourism knows no single season. Leisure industries do not shut-down for the winter; they simply change locations and climates. You can enjoy all the thrills of snow sports or all the warmth and relaxation of Caribbean sun with a winter leisure job.
If the bitter-cold fog swarms dense and the Skies threaten snow in London, surely fresh powdery snow will fall high in the Alps, where dedicated skiers and snowboarders vacation from early December through all of April. If rain falls in Vancouver, fresh snow falls at Whistler Mountain, where legions of dedicated amateurs wish to slide down the mountains in Olympians’ tracks.
Meanwhile, a small armada of cruise ships plies the Caribbean’s clear, warm waters, catering to refugees from all kinds of arctic climes.
All those winter vacationers require service of all kinds. Recreation and hospitality jobs abound, well-paid and prestigious culinary positions invite new applicants, and management opportunities await new graduates of hotel and restaurant management programs. Whatever your wintertime passion, you easily can combine it with a satisfying winter leisure job.
Winter leisure job in the snow?
Combine your passion for big air with your people-penchant, becoming a Ski instructor at any of a hundred upscale resorts in need of your services. Or dedicate your black-diamond ski skills to patrolling the mountains, keeping the slopes safe and ministering to intermediate sliders who take-on a little too much and fall a little too far a little too hard. If you have mechanical skills, help the resorts maintain and repair their heavy equipment, and if you have heavy equipment skills, become a “Snowcat” operator. Every Ski Resort depends on hundreds of employees who work round the clock to keep the slopes groomed and ready for visitors.
Many of the finest European and North American ski resorts now offer casino gambling. Opulent new casinos in high-end destinations need employees of all descriptions. Why not ski all day and deal all night, rubbing elbows with and putting cards in the air for Hollywood celebrities, European royalty, and stars from the World Series of Poker? Or why not put your exceptional service skills to work as a concierge?
Winter leisure job in the sun?
If you dread “raccoon eyes” and near-terminal frost bite, look for a winter leisure job with the world’s major cruise lines. Major cruise ships are giant floating cities, and everything it takes to sustain a city must similarly go to sea about a cruise ship. No matter what your skills and background, you probably can find attractive, gainful employment aboard ship.
Especially if you have athletic, aquatic, and teaching skills, the cruise lines are eager to offer attractive winter leisure jobs. All those swimming pools and water slides need instructors and lifeguards almost around the clock. Beginning snorkelers and intermediate scuba divers need instruction before they plunge into the clear blue seas. And a small army of eager children—tots to teens—needs constant supervision, entertainment, and instruction.
Several reputable and reliable online brokerages connect would-be leisure workers with employment opportunities. Enter “winter leisure job” in your search engine, and watch great opportunities appear.
