Snowboard Jobs

Snowboard jobs can be tricky, specially if you are new at a resort. It might drive you to get any job, even the ones that you will regret later.

Find a job you will like, or think could like.

Get a night job, if your first priority is to snowboard you will need the day to do that.

Don't work on the mountain as a lift operator or ticket checker full time. You will not be able to ride, all you will do is watch everybody else have a blast, while you freeze your feet off. A part time job might work, a few hours a day, a few days a week.

Ask the locals what places may be cool to work. I worked for a total douche bag once, everyone knew except me and once they give you your season pass you are a slave.

If you can afford to buy your pass, do it, it sucks having that over your head.

Don't go out there to bank, remember all you need is enough to pay your bills, food and buy gear when possible, oh yeah and party.

I've been a snow bum for years! What I do is work really hard in the summer and save my money. When I move back to the resort I don't have to work, but I do to get a free season pass. Season passes are a plus, try to get one of those for free or get a job that gives you a merchant deal. That's when you work for a place that is part of the chamber of commerce and they can get the pass usually for half of the original price.

Some places will give you a place to live, and some will charge you some cash to share a room and an apartment. That's up to you! Can you see yourself living with 3 other people? The Pros are that you will always have something to do and someone to party with, besides you could make life long friends. The Cons....you might hate the people you live with.

Finding a job should be easy at a resort, everyone will be hiring, the best jobs get taken fast so try to contact people early in the season.

I find that restaurants are a great place to work, any job that allows you to work after 4pm is a good job!.

Good luck, check the classifieds, online papers and go to a cool bar or local pizza joint and ask the waitress or bartender what's cool. Taking the chance to go to the resort first, checking the town out will guarantee you a chill job that you can keep and build a good reputation so maybe later on you will be offered a killer opportunity. Resorts look big but the local community is small, don't burn any bridges.
