I'm interested in working at a ski resort in Colorado after high school, and it would be great if housing was included. Does anyone have advice on how to find these types of opportunities or specific resorts to look into?
Finding a seasonal job at a ski resort in Colorado is a fantastic experience for many recent high school graduates! To start, consider looking at large resorts like Vail, Aspen, or Breckenridge, which are often looking for seasonal workers and offer a variety of roles. These resorts often feature a jobs or employment section on their websites where you can check and apply for open positions.
When applying, the key is to focus not just on what the job is, but also on the perks that come with it. In many cases, ski resorts offer perks such as free or discounted lift passes, discounted rates for friends and family, and yes, even employee housing. Be sure to read each job description carefully to see if housing is included, as it will typically be mentioned if it's available.
However, keep in mind that employee housing can vary in terms of size, cost, and availability, and may not be offered for every position. So it's important to ask questions about housing when talking to recruiters or during the interview process.
Lastly, networking can also be a beneficial part of your job search. If you happen to know someone who has worked at a ski resort before, reach out to them and ask about their experience. They may have tips on the application process, understanding the work culture, or even insider knowledge on the best resorts for seasonal work.
Good luck with your job search! Colorado is a fantastic place for ski enthusiasts, and working at a ski resort there could be an amazing experience.
