Nope. It’s not hard at all. The only jobs that require some experience are snowgrooming and ski patrol. Most people who run the groomers get trained after they have done some other operations job like snowmaking. Ski Patrollers can be hired with no previous experience if the applicant has medical training equivalent to an EMT-B or has an Outdoor Emergency Care certification. However a lot of Patrollers are volunteers.
Instructors, Snowmakers, Lift Attendants, Rental Shop employees, Food Service workers, etc. etc. are all jobs that a new employee can be trained to do.
Contact the Human Resources departments at the places you are most interested in working at. Most places have hired non-US citizens before and can tell you what paperwork you need.
