I'm moving to France !! | Doing a ski season as a chalet host | First time snowboarding | VIPSKI | 

Been a ski instructor for 22 years and let me tell you, you're doing fine. Your instructor didn't think anything of it and has considered it a normal part of the learning process if he is worth anything. When other people pick things up quickly it's usually because of cross learnings. Meaning prior experiences have enough similarities that they are starting with certain familiarities with those movement patterns. I always explain it like this; your brain has to build neuro-pathways to do things. It's like the process of going from a dirt path in the woods to a super highway. Day one there's nothing to guide you. Your hacking through the woods with a machete. Then the next time there's the trail you cut last time and the faint outline of a path on the ground. Eventually the path becomes easier to follow and you know the way. Then it turns into a narrow dirt road. After a while longer its a basic paved road. Then after some more time it becomes a wider road capable of transporting more traffic. Then a highway and eventually a large freeway. So those two guys essentially started with dirt paths and all the vegetation hacked back. You were clearing a path for the first time.

Honestly you’ll love it! I’ve done a couple of ski seasons and they’re one of the best experiences of my life :)) x

ahhh girl im doing one next year !!! can't wait

I’m in the exact same position having never skied before and will be chalet hosting in the alps this winter (but working for a different company)! You are ahead of me getting lessons before you fly out though haha. Best of luck hope you have the best season :))

If VIP pay for board rental I would recommend doing that rather than buying one. You will be able to get a beginner board and then you can buy some decent snowboard wear. Good luck!

Love the ski season videos 🙌🏻 Do you have a UK passport? As I’ve found a lot of ski season jobs have said they don’t take UK passport holders now since brexit :/ So just wondering if you do/how you have gone about it and if it’s affected the process at all xx

how did you get on? i’m doing my first ski season this year and have never boarded before! i am petrified that i’ll be the only one who can’t board😖😖x

I’m doing a hotel host for VIP ski in les arcs! Any tips will be much appreciated

what area of france are you going to be in!? Maybe if its the same place we can meet up!! xx

Skiing is still better, fact. Boarding is great but such a hassle.
