If you go to vails page you can search for jobs at all there mountains. It says employee housing available must be over 21 though.

mammoth was pretty rad for working/living/skiing at... i did that the year after i graduated...sickter stuff for sure...just search around on your website....if you get cashier at the cornice cafe and you get the choice seat you can ring people up all day and watch over the bottom of main park for a peep show of illin park shredding...then on your off days you have the whole mammoth or june 20 minutes away...sunny skies everyday that it wasnt dumping 4 feet

i wont be 21 til june so colorado looks like it's outta the question.  that mammoth job sounds dope i'll look into that.  if n e of u have ur own place and would need a roommate for cheap i'll go n e where as long as i can ski alot and get a job that will be able to support living expenses.

Dude, get a job at Alta.

they get more pow than anywhere pretty much, guaranteed, every year.

The peruvian lodge and the goldminers daughter are two places you can work that have employee housing-it doesnt get better than that. You are STEPs from the lift in the morning, and since you have employee housing you dont have to pay for shit, so not only do you get to shralp so much fucking pow, but you actually get to make some good money and save it, not blow it all on rent and transportation.

Do it.

ok "n e" and "any" take the same exact amount of keystrokes... why not avoid looking like a retard and write in english...

and I'm not sure how well utah would work for you cause park city doesn't have employee housing I believe. I think alta/bird do, but if you like park you'll be a pretty annoying and expensive drive away from park city.

utah is pretty damned easy... literally made the decision, dropped out of college and came out here with housing ready and a job within 2 months.

yea actually instead of going the working/living at the mountain approach you could move to slc, get any kind of job you can find in the valley (lots of choice from grocery stores to backcountry.com) and be like 40 minutes from tons of epic skiing. maybe make a post in the regionals to see if anyone needs a roommate in slc or park city.

im gonna say salt lake is your best bet, plenty of job opps at either the mountain or in the valley, and some ridiculous number like 8 resorts within 40 minutes of the city its the choice i made highly suggest you do the same.
