I'm English, moved to calgary to work as an Engineer because wages are more than double. And I get to ski every weekend.

Not going to post my salary but even after you convert CAD$ to GBP its more than double the 22-23k my Mech Engineer friends back in england are on.

My W2 said about $18.5k, but add tips to that and it's probably about ~$21k-22k

Not much but not bad.

No clue actually, my accountant takes care of all my income and moneybusiness.

I "work" for my dad's law firm.

I do know I pay this on taxes:

We are taxed pretty heavenly over here in the Netherlands so judging by my weak economy skills I earn roughly 300k in euros.

a better question would be how many real ski bums are on this site?
i ski instruct roughly 9 months a year and rest of my income comes from what ever work i can find at home. my expenses are food, rent, weed, ski gear. i make it work, but only just. not claiming to be a ski bum, i know guys who live on mates floors all season and do a few night shifts so they can ride everyday and dont even own their own outerwear, thats a true ski bum

4.69 actually, you learn ways around it... like go grocery shopping in reno or carson city (depending if you're in north or south lake), and get gas while you're there, it's about 70 cents cheaper per gallon. where are you interviewing?

I managed to bum the ski so to speak while working a full time job. I made like 22k on 3 12 hour shifts a week and skied a ton. Those were a fun two years of my life.

I really dont understand why people are so worried about telling others their salary.. there is actually no reason at all i can think of unless you're a target for some theif.. other then if the person who is being asked is extremely insecure about what others think of themself

its just always been that way.....? idk. im quite comfortable with what i make actually so insecurity isnt an issue in that regard. long story short, i guess it just isnt their business. when you're a teenager or whatever, it doesnt matter at all but when you get a bit older, asking someone how much they make is somewhat declasse and a definite no-no

actually... no.... middle class is a family income between 60k and 250k, above that you're close to the 1% mark that everyone seems to be freaking out over.

Yeah, instructing is not ski bumming, unless you are backlining every line up and living on the edge of what you can afford. I've been doing back to back winters instructing for 6 years and it's my only job, I go on holiday for the other four months of the year. To be honest, some of the time it is just a job, I haven't a day off for ages, so definitely not a bum.

where do you do your seasons? and how do you afford to holiday the rest of your time? unless you only do epic privates i guess...mind you i have only done 4 seasons teaching.

I work in Hirafu in Japan, and Portillo in Chile. I'm sure we'd have some mutual friends as half my school here works in Thredbo. I do a lot of privates, and just a lot of hours at a pretty good pay rate, then in Chile I get all my food and accommodation paid for which makes saving a lot easier.

I backline pretty much every day, though some days more aggressively than others. I consider someone who moves to a ski town and takes whatever job allows them to ski as often as they want a ski bum.

Yearly Ill make 30k, just started a new job in Jan, and that pay is based off of current paybase, it will be bumping up a couple more dollars per hour in a month tho so a little more.

Love what Im doing tho, installing fireplaces, so pretty much, doing the framing, masonry (if needed), running the venting, and then finishing it with stone, tile etc. So much fun working with power tools and building shit!
