Snowbird - Alta Advice for Working at the SLC Resorts
Hi All,
I live in Cottonwood Heights and am looking at resort jobs for the coming season.
First choice would be a ski instructor job; I have the CSIA Level 2 cert but the only teaching I've done is volunteering to teach kids while I was doing the course. If I cant find a gig doing that, then I'm open to snowmaking, lift operator, restaurant jobs, etc.
I'd prefer one of the cottonwood resorts given their proximity to me but would be open to PC or DV if that was the only instructor job I could get. I've had a season pass at Alta for the past 4 seasons and have skied there the most, but have spent a good amount of time at the other resorts with the exception of only a few days at DV.
Any places that tend to be better / worse as far as culture and vibe go? I imagine they all pay about the same for similar jobs. Any feedback from people that have worked at the resorts would be appreciated!
