- The best way to land a job at most resorts is to show up in late summer
- or early fall and canvas the whole place. Myself and a buddy did this
- at Breckenridge the year after we graduated college, and we were able
- to latch on to maintenence jobs at the Peak 9 Restaurant. Free place
- to stay (under the restaurant at the top of the mountain), free food
- and beer (got real sick of that wretched chili, but the Coors never ran
- out), and season passes. We shoveled the decks and prepped the kitchen
- every morning, and then skied all day, EVERY day. We got 125+ days in
- that year, and enjoyed first tracks with the patrollers many times. It
- was powder/bumps/corn heaven... If you have to resort to just sending
- a resume, it's still worth a shot. It will be a winter to remember.
- for the season and they need people who can commit to the whole winter.
