British company. Pay isn't great (basically covers beer), but you get a free (shared) room, lift pass, rental equipment, transport there and back and most do food as well. There are loads of different jobs the simplest with the best chance of time on snow is plongeur, dish washer in bar/restaurant/hotel kitchens.

Would be cool to do something like that but I already ask my work for a sebatical next year to travel and it got rejected. I can't just leave either when I've got a mortgage to pay

I've been snowboarding 20 years now. It doesn't have to be expensive. Right resort, right time of year, cheap flights, a few friends. Go early or late season to high resorts, Val Thorens etc. Some indoor slopes do monthly passes but generally best to keep visits down to one or two a year if on a budget.
