Good if you want to ski a lot

Cons

Salary is very low, especially for a mountain town where living expenses are very high.

Pros

Cool managers in both the maintenance and electrical departments. You can learn a lot. When working on projects, I always felt heard and respected, even though I was a new guy. Super fun place to work, and all of my coworkers were pretty rad mountain dudes, great place to make friends. The work was really fun, flying around on lifts in the Summer, climbing 100' towers on a mountain, in the Winter you're crusing around on snowmobiles, and in the Summer you're offroading in a truck of a side by side. You work on a friggin mountain, lots of wildlife, moose, deer, elk, fox, bear. Opportunity to make a decent living if you are motivated to learn, contribute, be a team player, and add value to the team.

Cons

Starting pay isn't the greatest, but in my department, I saw several colleagues move up fairly quickly when they applied themselves. The managers will do what they can when they think you are putting in the effort.

Pros

Opportunities for internal transfers and promotions are plentiful, generous time-off policy, free shift meal for food & beverage workers, able to take ski/ride breaks on slower days, worked with some great people.

Cons

Lots services eliminated or outsourced, like HR, which can be a challenge when managing large teams during peak season.
