Replying to What's working at a ski shop like?

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I currently ref hockey right now and its not a bad job, (about 20$ a game) but I want a different experience. I'm turning 16 in March, and I know its a long ways away but I'd like to get my resume's and stuff ready early. I thought about what I like to do, and what I want to do, and I had a vague idea, like maybe cooking, photography, or ski lessons, but I think working at a ski shop would be the most realistic. If I'm spending 8 hours a day somewhere, might as well be where I like to spend my time most. There's two ski shops that I'm looking at right now, Comor Sports and Snow Covers.

What I want to know is, what kind of things do you do working at a ski shop? What kind of things is a ski shop looking for in a potential candidate? What kinds of perks are typically involved with a job at a ski shop?

It'd be great if owners of shops or employees could point me in the right direction. Thanks!
