Question abt Seasonal Ski Work
Hey everyone! I'm sure this has already been asked many times, but I'm looking for any personal ideas or recommendations on where to go/apply to this winter for the Ski Season!! My skiing skills are nowhere near good enough for ski patrol or anything, but any other job I'm open to and qualified for! I'm 20F and want somewhere that I'll make great memories and be able to ski and hike. I'm a pretty active gal and open to learning any new skills though. Other than that i'm open to whatever! Lodging included would be a huge plus as I would love to avoid the headache of searching for somewhere to rent Obviously going out West is the area im looking into as well, and I wont have a car (my car is only rwd and wouldn't make it in the winter up there!) Id to hear any personal recommendations or ideas from you guys!! There are sooo many ski resorts and whatnot that it feels impossible to choose. I'm also open to end up bartending or serving nights to bring in most of the cheddar, but once again I have to choose a location (which seems like impossible). Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank in advance!

You didn't say where you live. There could be local jobs that you are overlooking. Depending upon the mountain a first season ski instructor may only need intermediate level skiing skills, but above average people skills.
