Anyone qualified at teaching and looking for a job relating to the sport we all love so much, check this out! Theres a new indoor ski centre opening soon in Sandyford near the beacon hotel. They are looking for instructors if anyone is interested.
Heres more info about it. Any questions email the club (ucdsnowsports@gmail.com) and Ill get on to the organisers.

"It's in Sandyford, near the Beacon hotel. It will start with 2 rolling slopes, a club/bar area & a small upstairs gym. Opening hrs are prob going to be 8/9am to 10/11pm mon to fri, 8 to 6 on sats, 8to 7/8pm on suns. Instructors can be rostered to work up to 5 days per wk incl. w/ends. Light meals will be provided if working hours that cover a normal lunch or eve meal time. Pay is 20euro per hour. More details soon, as these are still being finalised. Main selling point is it's a good overall atmosphere, no getting wet or wind blown outdoors. Use (good) slope skis and own boots. Normally instructing is interspersed with time in the bar or on bookings as a break from the slope but more details to follow. All hours count. Should be great and we are looking for young instructors who will have to have a qualification but still need training in on this surface."

If interested, let me know as soon as you can, they're having a managers meeting on saturday and would love to know of any interest before then

Paul said snowflex, which is just another dendex alternative, just without all the thumb catching holes!
