Anybody ever work with any of the big ski holiday companies? I'm talking like crystal, inghams, neilson, mark warner, etc.

Tell me about it, I have interviews with crystal and inghams in the next few weeks and would be interested to hear about anybody's previous experiences with them as employers

Crystal has a reputation for being shit to it's staff, mark warner I've heard constantly praised, not sure about the others. Of course there's going to be exceptions to both cases though.

If anyone knows of any jobs or other companies to apply for other than the big, obvious ones it would be great if you could recommend them to me. It's pretty hard to find anything this late on. Had a job lined up for this season in Canada up until a month ago when the Canadian gov changed the visa rules.
So yeh, now im kinda desperate. Not doing a season would suck!
