WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Typically a season runs from early December to late March with the peak of the season occurring in January and February. Most staff are required to work a 6 day week, with some days requiring extended hours and balanced by quieter days. Arrival and departures, which typically fall on Wednesdays and Saturdays require all hands on deck as we can be moving over 700 guests on these days.
As we expect our staff to work hard, we also expect you to play hard, which is quite easy with some of the world's most consistent powder snow and lifts open 12 hours a day. Similarly Japan offers a deep rich culture, removed from any other, and we encourage all staff to embrace this and get involved.
The Perks:
- Competitive remuneration package.
- Shared staff accommodation is available.
- Discounts and deals available to SkiJapan.com staff in Hirafu Village (including retail/snowsports lesson discounts).
All successful candidates are to meet the legal requirements to entitle them to work in Japan, for more details please visit the Japanese Consulate's website in your country as there are some limitations.
