They must have changed the rules while I was quarantining last season. The ski school is understaffed and has been for years.@liquidfeet That is amazing! Here it is full time only and then only legal spouse or off spring under 18. Family is fluid and employees even more so when there is no hook to keep them in a place no matter how rough the living conditions may be.
How sad, Cataloochee has the South Americans college students back this year, unlike last season....Heard today that the top of Whistler Blackcomb is closed. It's not cold, or conditions.....no staff to run the lifts, restaurants etc....
They are using the lower mountain...
Wow, they have childcare, too. Presumably it's free or affordable? It seems like that could be a huge lure to employees.Aspen is raising rates by $3/hour effective immediately meaning don't have to wait til end of season to receive a bonus. It's kind of exciting. Feeling like it's an all out wage war!

Where deSpokane's ad campaign is WAY better. They understand who their target audience is. That opening line is a pretty good zinger. (This was pre-pandemic; commuting isn't an issue for so many anymore).

Spokane here. Mt Spokane is 35 miles from Downtown. Housing is through the roof. The median home price is up several hundred thousand from what it used to be. (389K last year, 17K in 2015) There is zero open occupancy on rentals and apartments. Ad for the 12 minute commute (referring to that ad) it **really** is going to depend on where you are going. I'd venture a guess that the average is closer to 20 what with the traffic growth around here.I don't know, but housing costs are far less there. They have Mt Spokane and 49 Degrees North pretty close, and Schweitzer is within 2 hours.
