Riding makes you attractive. FACT!

SNO!Zone learns that employers are vibing off those who ride!

The company, which owns indoor snow slopes in Milton Keynes, Castleford and Glasgow, ran a survey of 500 employers asking what they look for in potential employees. and guess what, they didn't say cooking, reading or watching tv! A massive 82% said that an interest in extreme sports said it was an attractive quality suggesting energy and ambition.

"The feedback we got was that extreme sports suggest someone is spirited and energetic and are therefore likely to bring those characteristics to their job," says Lisa Allan, SNO!Zone Brand Manager.

"It just goes to show that not only do activities such as snowboarding or mountain biking keep you fit, they could also land you your dream job."

So there you have it. Sliding sideways is officially recongised as being super-awesome, yeah! You know what to do...

  • Woah hold up Huck! The survey was done by an indoor snow slope company to it's employees? And the result was that an interest in extreme sports were "what they look for in potential employees". Seriously? What exactly makes this newsworthy?

  • It's just a bit of fun to make all of us sideways sliders feel that little bit better about ourselves!

    Best not to take it too seriously...Hence the cool customers in the photo.

  • Woah, hold up Lisa! Maybe you could conduct your own survey once you've built an indoor snow slope, until then... Simmer!
