I worked for Vail for a few seasons and had a wicked time! I'm still here! Because Colorado snow and mountains and parties are sweet!

They provided my visa, accommodation and free ski pass for 5+ mountains and it was so easy! The only thing is that they require you to work all season-long, from mid-Nov to mid-April, but spring skiing rocks anyway!

I came on an H2B visa and all I had to pay for was travel and an appointment at the consulate. Do it! You won't regret it!

Never mind a two-week holiday - the best way to experience Whistler is as a local. Anyone aged 18 to 35 can obtain a 12-month work permit through BUNAC's Work Canada programme. (You don't have to be a student.)

Whistler Blackcomb holds a hiring fair in October. Competition is fierce and the company is extremely customer-focused, so show plenty of enthusiasm and animation.

A job with the mountain means a free season pass, free lessons, discounted food and ski/snowboard gear and subsidised accommodation. You might work as a liftie, a ski technician, a cappuccino bar server or a ticket validator.

Hard work, yes, but you'll improve your skiing/riding no end and discover all the secret spots on the mountain.

Contact BUNAC (British Universities North America Club) for visa details (020-7251 3472, bunac.org.uk).
