Vail instead!

Posted by PowderLover 16 March 2007

I worked for Vail for a few seasons and had a wicked time! I'm still here! Because Colorado snow and mountains and parties are sweet!

They provided my visa, accommodation and free ski pass for 5+ mountains and it was so easy! The only thing is that they require you to work all season-long, from mid-Nov to mid-April, but spring skiing rocks anyway!

I came on an H2B visa and all I had to pay for was travel and an appointment at the consulate. Do it! You won't regret it!

Fresh Tracks On Whistler

Posted by snowbum 29 November 2006

Fresh Tracks is a fab way to make the most of pow pow on Whistler Mountain and get a monster brecky! You pay $17 CAD for a ticket, get to the lift by 7am, always a down side! Upload from 7.30, its limited to 650 persons each day, when you get to the top you help yourself to a massive breakfast featuring everything you could imagine, then wait for the call "runs open" You then make a mad dash for your skis/boards then have about an hour of magical fun 'til everyone else gets on the mountain! Believe me, 650 people on Whistler Mountain is like having Andorra to yourself! Enjoy!

Posted by sammyw 14 November 2006

In several north American and Canadian resorts, like Whistler, you can often get a refund from you ski pass for days you haven't skied. Great news if the weather doesn't play ball.

Working in Whistler

Posted by victoriaB 26 August 2006

Working in Whistler for a season is a fantastic idea. I worked for the Westin Hotel on the front desk and I got paid a lot more than my friends who worked on the mountain. I also got tips, all meals while I was working, commission, and a severely discounted season pass. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a new experience.
