You can get an application from the website, but they usually only hire former campers that were chill and got to know the staff. Being on camper staff is good place to start, some of the stuff they make you do kinda sucks, but its worth it.

sorry for dub post but i saw you knew about the taco place in the demo thread. you HAVE been a camper so my recommendation is to email them and apply for camper staff for next year in january. they will contact you again in late april/early may to work out when you will be going. like Big_Spence said its probably too late for anything this year.
i will be camper staff sessions 6 & 7

Do you get to ski as a part of camper staff and what do you have to do when on camper staff?

you basically do dirty work in the kitchen, you do get to ski, sometimes your day is cut a little short because you get on the hill later, at least with racing it was, but for park you might still get full days in. you don't get paid but you get to go to camp for free. generally you do one paid week and one camper staff week

This, but you still get a full day with park, cause the park doesn't open until around 10, and you're usually there before that. If they like you, you may get asked to stay for a few more sessions as camper staff.

hahaha, thats funny... because it was a WEAK year. Probaly the worst year In 4 or 5 years. There was actually tons uncovered grass and shrubs in a lot of lower elevation places, and palmer in the winter had rocks everywhere on the upper face.

It dumped pretty well at the end of spring. As well as 5 inches this past week.ha. It wasnt a great winter, but the late snow helps out for a better summer season..hopefully it holds
