My son has just got his BASI 2 and intends to use his Gap year teaching
if possible.
Any advice as to the best way or contacts for this would be appreciated.
Which countries are a no no. France I know but Austria?
Any help in pointing him in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

How are his language skills? If he can't speak the local language he is
effectively limited to British based ski schools or Andorra in Europe. Of
course US or Canada are good alternatives - though visas would be needed
so time is critical - see if BUNAC have any year long working visas left.

Yeah, language is the problem. GCSE French at best I'm afraid. Already
looking at Andorra which could be the best bet.

I've previously spoken to the ski school director there, so I know language
isn't an issue. There is an acclimatisation/assessment week held in
December. Alternatively you could try some of the school trip organisers -
however AIUI your son probably won't be guaranteed work through the whole
season - usually feast or famine depending on number of schools/pupils at
the resort. I think that www.natives.co.uk has links for them.

Actually I think most ski schools don't guarantee work, so early season can
be a struggle financially.
