Contracts vary by resort but are fairly standard. You’ll typically receive accommodation and a lift pass as part of your employment package. Wages are paid by the hour for lessons taught. Peak periods (Christmas and New Year, February half-term, Easter) are when you’ll be busiest — don’t request time off during these. During quieter periods you’ll have more free time and free skiing. The more professional and reliable you are, the more hours you’ll get. It’s a meritocracy on the mountain.
