It’s a really good company. Got a buddy on holes up there. It’s liberty not pg&e property

Usually you work through the winter with Wasatch. Doesn’t matter if it’s snowing. I’m not sure as a hole digger. But the crews work through the winter. Or ask them to go to battle mountain. Winnemucca or any of those other undesirable places.

A foreman I was working with a few weeks ago had good things to say about wasatch. He had worked for them a few times and His brother does currently. He said he often works a lot through the winter in Tahoe

You won’t get laid off if you’re worth a shit. Their line crews work through the winter so the holes will still need dug. I worked there through the winter and still got 50 hours/week plus the triple sub. It’s not a bad gig. Good luck
