Thanks for your interest in working for us during the 2010/11 ski season. We have some of last year's team returning to work another season with us but this still leaves us with the positions outlined below.

A quick email that just says CV attached won't cut it, so please read on to see how you could be part of the Karibuni Ski Team for 20010/11

Karibuni is a small independent ski and snowboard chalet operator based in the French Alps, near the village of La Clusaz. Karibuni's winter brand is known as 'Ski Weekender' due to specialising in short break ski holidays. Our chalets are comfortable and homely with a very friendly feel. All rooms are ensuite and we also have big lounges, TV rooms and spacious dining areas as well as a large, well stocked bar and a fully functional ski hire room in our main chalet. The skiing here is excellent with over 220km of pistes. Offering everything from beginner runs to off piste descents, there is something for everyone.

It is essential for our guests to feel cared for and welcome when on holiday with us, whilst knowing that nothing they ask for is too much trouble, and everything will be delivered with a smile! The key to this is our carefully hand-picked Ski Team. Our team are the face of Karibuni and are consequently crucial in maintaining our strong reputation as great holiday providers within the industry.

Our visitor book from the last few seasons emphasises how conscientious and friendly our staff are whilst ensuring the high standards of hospitality our regular returning guests have come to expect from us:

Hi Jess, Paul and all your fantastic team at Karibuni
We have just enjoyed one of our best ever skiing holidays, and cannot believe that we packed so much into a three day break (26-29 Jan). We just wanted to say a very big thank you to you all at Karibuni. The overall atmosphere in the chalet, the delicious food, the ski guiding and the enthusiasm and commitment of your whole team was fantastic. We never felt that anything was too much trouble, and we thoroughly enjoyed our short break with you. The skiing at La Clusaz and Grand Bornand was superb…what more can you ask than perfect conditions and blue skies! We hope to return next year and thanks again for making us feel so welcome! All best wishes for a great season
Jo and Rob
