250rBeing a heli guide is the only really good one.
Other than that, work for a dope mountain doing ski patrol, or avy tech(droppin bombs. Level 4 ski instructors in Whistler can make $500+ a day doing private lessons.
All of those jobs take a fair amount of experience and certifications, and take up your own skiing time.
Personally I work as a chef only at night, and ski everyday. I get more free skiing in then just about anyone in the industry other than pros really.

ManskimacYa that’s kinda what I’m looking to do work all night ski all day
BigPurpleSkiSuitGoddamit, I came out here to ski but now I'm stuck in this 9-5 trap banking mainly for the homeless who half the time just want to open an account to cash a fraud check. Apart from the homeless and decrepit the only people who walk into the branch are people who are runners for a business. It pays decently, but I can't say I'm happy since im mainly just cold calling people asking about their financial situations as a banker so very hard to earn any commissions. Plus since its 9-5 it leaves very little time for college. I need a job that lets me ski more and has more time for college since at this rate I'll graduate by 2030. Does the ski industry need finance majors in college anywhere?
theabortionatorFor anyone who's never works a season at a ski area it's well worth it though. Especially if you're still living at home. Even a year teaching lessons or something. The experience and the job options very from place to place but it can be a good time.
You're probably not going to get rich, but it's a cool experience. Especially if you can do it while you're still living with your parents so you don't have to pay $$$$$$$$$$$ for rent. The season pass, some food discounts, and being at the mountain all the time can be rad.
CalumSKIteaching is pretty dope and the free pass and discounts are great but its hella hard with young children
goo thing is that im probs coaching the freestyle team at my local so i can chill with kids a bit older and who have enough experience to shred the park
should be a great year
