Sadly I think this is what most of NS nowadays
I worked at Breck for 6 years. If you put in a smidge of effort it’s super easy to stand out and get promoted. If you want to make a career climbing the corporate ladder or even an easy route into leadership roles that you can then transfer to a different career path then vail is the place to do it especially at their bigger resorts. People come in for a slack off season and expect the world to be handed to them and complain the whole time and leave. The constant turn over is an opportunity for us ski bums to shine and most people blow it and just party and do minimal. I liked being able to ski 100+ days a season, I liked how easy it was to identify their core values and regurgitate them back to stand out, and I really like their efforts towards having a zero footprint. Seasonal and resort work isn’t foreverone. I work at a compost company now selling soil but the professional development I gained from vail stands out on my resume.

Hustler mentality, respect
If you're approaching your personal career in any other way, you're doing yourself a disservice.

This.
I see see so many people at my jobs that show up 8 hours a day to do minimal and go home. Your spending the majority of your week to be there. Make yourself stand out and make career moves.
i used to, work for alterra right now, vail i felt like I jumped through less hoops. similar pay. that being said they're both big corporations, so there's some silly policies you have to deal with. and like most big companies how your work is will greatly depend on your bosses/managers, as they are in charge of how strict or relaxed a department can be.
I worked for Vail Resorts for two seasons. It was kind of weird. They offered me a job at a certain wage and I took it and didn't have any complaints. They even provided housing for cheap and I skied my ass off. But by all means, fuck Vail Resorts. Amirite?
I’d rather work for the Natzi SS
Vail haters are generally pretty ignorant about the ski industry. There are plenty of things I wish VR would change, but people act as if every other mtn is perfect.
Most of the people that bitch about vail have never even worked in the ski industry anyway. Also people 2 years into skiing that heard that it was cool to hate vail.
I'm almost finished with my 19th season heading into 20th in june. Ive worked at some of the smallest and some large corporate mtns. I prefer the smaller mtn vibe as thats what I grew up with and first started working at but each has pros and cons.
Idk, I just hate clueless stupid people hating on things they know little about.
There are just as many sometimes more problems at some of the independent mom and pop mtns as the big guns.
The "ermahger liek fuck vale" people are dumb.
