The typical Japan ski season is from mid December through to early April, although certain resorts have much longer seasons, some which are dependent on snow conditions. The benefits of skiing or snowboarding in Japan is that it endures a low of snow over the Christmas period from December-January, which means temperatures are very cold and powder snow quality is at its best – which entices a lot of tourists!

While the mountains may offer consistent snowfall, fluffy powder and terrain to suit all abilities, Japan’s surging popularity means that there is plenty of work available for ski and snowboard enthusiasts.

Once the visa is secured you are ready to start applying for ski season jobs in Japan. In Japanese-run ski resorts, it is known to be very difficult to find jobs working directly for the resort, for roles such as ski lift operators, as these types of jobs tend to go to locals or applicants who speak fluent Japanese. Instead, the above companies provide a variety of jobs roles in which you can apply for, with ski season jobs in Japan including jobs such as bar, reception or maintenance work, drivers, nannies, chefs, reps and chalet staff, along with the chance to become a ski or snowboard instructor. This means your weekly schedule may vary also, for example one week may consist of working in the morning, hitting the slopes for a few hours and then heading back into work mode for the evening shift, and the next day would be the opposite, getting the best of both worlds with the benefits of the occasional après-ski!
