Replying to Post-college year out west

Hey guys, I am from Connecticut and I am planning on moving to Colorado, or somewhere else out west for the 2011-2012 season after I graduate from college next May.

Any suggestions from anyone who has either done this before, is planning on doing this, or knows someone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.

I am a marketing major, so obviously an ideal job would be something along those lines in the area, but that is a very far reach.  Looking past that I am interested in working at one of the resorts or being a ski instructor.

I would really appreciate it with any advice on this topic from anyone who knows what they are talking about, thanks a lot.
