Q: What's involved in your job?
A: From the moment the guests walk in we greet them, find out what kind of gear they need and fit them with clothing, boots, boards, skis, poles, safety gear - anything they could want for a day on the mountain. We make sure they're safe, happy and well fitted.
Q: What skills or experience do you need?
A: You need to be a people person, have good communication skills and have a decent knowledge of the gear. Mostly you need to be switched on, calm and patient.
