The Selwyn Six offer fantastic work opportunities including ski patrollers, groomer and machinery operators, lifties, ticket office and café staff, rental and workshop personnel, right the way through to administration and managerial roles.
We’ve spent some time on the mountain and have caught up with some of those in the industry and have asked them what it takes to score a job in the industry.
