How hard is it to land a job? by DaveInSeoul http://www.jetsetjob.com/ski-resort-recruitment/im-trying-to-get-a-ski-resort-job-in-aspen-for-the-2010-2011-ski-season-how-hard-is-it-to-land-a-job/#comment-49 DaveInSeoul Sat, 30 Jan 2010 10:39:35 +0000 http://www.jetsetjob.com/ski-area/im-trying-to-get-a-ski-resort-job-in-aspen-for-the-2010-2011-ski-season-how-hard-is-it-to-land-a-job/#comment-49 I spent two years out in Colorado ski-bumming. If you are 'on-site' jobs, the are usually fairly easy to get, but don't try and apply from out-of-town and don't expect to get paid well. All the jobs I worked (I worked in Summit County, not Aspen, but it is the same pretty much all over the ski-towns) were minimum wage or slightly over, and were the direct result of me being on the spot when someone decided to 'take the job and shove it'. Good luck in finding a job that pays more than the minimum wage, and be prepared to live with a roommate or two (almost everybody does it). Also, don't plan to be there the entire year. That was the mistake I made, and while I did it for one year, I didn't last the second. While there are more summer jobs in Aspen than in the past, trying to stay employed in the fall and spring is really, really, hard. I spent two years out in Colorado ski-bumming.

Played guitar and set up lunch (for $3/hour but got a ski pass) on the mountain, and bus-boyed at night to make $$. Both jobs were easy enough to get, I just walked around for a few days and put in applications, got a few hours and picked the best ones. You just need enough to survive out there, and everyone is really cool and generous. This was right after xmas. Just get out there and you'll find something, it's awesome.

All you need to do is find the place you want to work at and keep an eye on their website or just call them and ask them when they post their jobs for the winter and then you just put your application in.

Staffing for ski seasons is hotting up now, they'll be making decisions in the next 4-6 weeks so get in there quick. THere's some information here about becoming a chalet host http://bit.ly/3Gmcr Good luck :) Hi,

I applied online at the mountain's website and I got an email from the manager at the ski school. To be an children instructor (which is what I am) you need a pretty good background in skiing and patience with kids. To be an adult instructor you need additional training. Any other jobs at the mountain could include lift operator, ambassador, working in the kitchen/restaurants, in the ski shop, in the rental shop, etc. P.S. I also only work during my winter break, so it's do-able! I work at a ski resort in the winter as a ski instructor.
