Working in Lapland

[CanadianFinn88]

Terve kaikille!

About 8 months ago I came to Finland to fulfill my military service, voluntarily. It was a great experience for me and I have since decided to spend another year or two here in Finland to learn the language and enjoy it's beauty (kauniita naisia).. I'm currently working fulltime in Helsinki, and although it pays the bills, I feel like it will get quite stale once the Winter comes.

Recently I have been entertaining the idea of moving to Lapland to work at Levi in Romaniemi. I've been a snowboarder for at least 15 years and when I was younger, I held a job as a snowboard instructor.

I have visited the Levi website but I'm having some issues finding the appropriate places to apply for such work, so I'm using this forum to hopefully gain some insight as to working in Lapland at ski-resorts. I would very much appreciate website links, contact information, and personal experience from yourself or friends regarding the experience of working a ski-season in Lappi.

Paljon kiitoksia!
