i worked there last year ..it's alrite if you are looking for a job that is pretty laid back....like you would only work about 3-4 hours at night(if lucky) b/c everything is first come first serve with the instructors and it was about13 bucks an hour but i dunno if it's changed this year or not so i mean if you are looking to make serouis money find somewhere else if you are looking for a place to get a free pass make some money on the side and have an alrite park to ride in it's the place for you. but for full time it's a no go i did that last year and you just don't make enuff money i was there all day and only came home with 5 or 6 hours for a whole day and when i say whole day thats from 8 in the moring till 8 at night

Never taught at Dagmar but I can tell you if your looking to make the cash and dont care to much about the skiing or quality of the lessons, check out North york ski area(Earl Bales). Best pay in Ontario, but you work for the city(which can be good or bad).

I've heard it is very hard to get hours there, too many instructors.

well I'm going to be coaching a freestyle club in ontario on the weekends, and I'm looking for somewhere to teach/fill the rest of my week, where I can ski, somewhere with a decent park....and I was just wondering about dag, because its like 2 min from my place...I'm going to check out Lakeridge and Skyloft too, but I know skyloft has the worst park scene ever, and Lakeridge can be bastards with making you wear turtle necks as part of the uniform, and not paying all that well...
cheers

thanks for your input, what I think I'm going to do, is apply at all 3 and see what they offer me...then I'll make my decision although skyloft is going to have to offer me a shit load....its too bad they have a shit park, because the hill is much better I think then, Lakeridge, and Dagmar...they just need better snowmaking, more lifts, and not be private
