lets think about this:

10k/month=120k/yr
this = $60/hr assuming 40hr/wk and 2 week vaca
if they paid that much there would be no lift ops no sno makers no coaches and the every 1 in PC would try and work there.  That is pure sillyness

to answer your question .... no one does this...i have a few friends that are ski instructors at bambi basin and they do not make half that.... this person is lying to you, unless it's the manager of the entire dv program.

Fo sho dude tips at that resort are insane so many rich peps just ditching their kids for the day haha. But 10g's that a lot of skrilla for a ski instructor even with tips.

I tended bar at Steins the first year I moved out here. Made bank. Unless that instructor has been around 10 years and has rich return clients I'd have to call bullshit though.
