Social Ambassadors at The Ski Gathering

What is a "Social Ambassador"?

In a nutshell a Social Ambassador is a Ski Gathering veteran who has volunteered to come back to show new people the ropes. They have been in your shoes on previous trips, and know what it's like to arrive at your first TSG holiday. They may not even have a complete knowledge of the resort but that's OK, that's not why they are here. Their role is to make everyone feel welcome and ensure no one feels left out.

Where do we use Social Ambassadors?

For now we use Social Ambassadors on our holidays in Zell Am See.

They are still a paying guest, just like you. We do though give them a discounted rate in appreciation of all they bring to our trips. Anyone can be a Social Ambassador but we do have certain requirements which you can read about below.

How do I become a Social Ambassador?

To become a ski gathering partner we would ask you fulfil the following requirements:

Requirements

• Have attended at least one previous Ski Gathering holiday, preferably more than one.
• Be a somewhat capable skier who can read a piste map.
• Be competent in the use of Whatsapp and other social media platforms.
• Knowledge of the destination resort would be a big plus.
• Be a good all round "people person"

What does the role entail?

Below is a list of the typical duties of a Social Ambassador. The primary role of the Social Ambassador is to be the "social glue" that keeps everybody in the loop. We will be providing guidance on all subjects listed below. We will also have a chat about what the complete duties of a Social Ambassador are closer to the holiday.

• Take the lead in group WhatsApp group chat before the holiday
• Arrive early on day one, liaise with hotel reception and introduce yourself as the point of contact for the group.
• Arrange an informal day one meet and greet (usually in the hotel bar) for all guests.
• Distribute anything provided by by The Ski Gathering (e.g TSG Neck Warmers)
• Make sure everybody is always in loop about what's happening socially during the week .
• Arrange a final day social event such as apres ski drinks to try and finish the trip on a high and as a group.
• Provide feedback to the tour organisers on the hotel, the resort and the service received upon your return home.
• Be familiar with hotel staff so you can point people to the right place / person if someone asks about lift passes, lessons etc.

What is NOT your job:

• Dealing with issues with rooms or the hotel
• Dealing with extras such as lift passes, ski hire and transfers
• Leading / guiding on the slopes, we actively discourage any sort of guiding on the mountain.
