Good Ski Resort Jobs

What are your good part time money making jobs from ski resorts?

I babysit, wash clothes and wax with a pretty good income and not getting in the way of much.
Does anyone else have any good paying ideas of buisness that don't take away skiing or partying time?

i work at a resturant and make serious bank, and the place doesnt open til 5.... i made as much as 170 a night... and bus boy is a pretty easy job, and half way through the season our foodrunner broke his collarbone, and i had to switch to that... which is even easier

yeah a late night restaurant job is what you want. get to ski everyday, free food, good money (sometimes), and you can party afterwards or on your nights off or both.

Seconded, that shit gets lame after the first week.  Sitting there watching everyone have a wicked time while you get to stare at the bullwheel for hour after hour.

Question: how's trail crew or park crew as a resort job?  I'm heading back to the same mountain I was at last season (Panorama in BC), and I've applied for evening serving jobs, trail crew and they're getting back to me with details of park crew positions.  Obviously the negative is that you're working during the day, but at least you're skiing around rather than sitting in one spot like lifty work.

Well if you love skiing enough then you try to incorporate skiing and makin' dough together, but it takes a certain kind of people to teach little kids all day.

^ski instructor, while at times can make a ton of cash would be the worst job, they are the most hated by locals, they are hanging out with beaters all day, and in alta the people dont want to hike so ski school has mid mountain traverses set up practically through every run. fuck ski school.
