How does one become a digger, that has got to be such a sick job? I hear that they are the camp bitches pretty much but at least you can ski for free.

TJ was a digger last year at momentum or high norht im pretty sure... fuckin shit job apparently tho cause you are the first up there in the morning like fuckin early shaping the hits and then thats what you do pretty much all day... but you do get to summer ski for free... and as far as i know you dont get paid.

You dont even get to ski for yourself that much, but you get to hang out with like minded people in Whistler and at least be on the snow all day.

Diggers are a sub human breed.. especialy Jersey Dan

Lets say you have 10 000 people, about the number of drunken rowdy males at a Flames playoff game. Armed with nothing more than semi-auto 22\'s and flaming Alberta whiskey, this rag-tag group could fight a successful guerilla campaign against 150 000 US troops plus tens of thousands of coalition troops, costing $5 bil a MONTH and lasting at least 2 years. Pretty pathetic considering the US spends more on its military per year than every other country COMBINED.

i happen to like to dig. it is fun, and you will have to pay 2000 to jump versus dig.

how many kids do you think want to dig? thousands. if you have to ask about getting the job on an internet fourm your already off to a terrible start.

a 14 year old digger? hell no your not getting the job.you cant even lift your skis, how the hell are you going to perform hard manaul labor all day? no one in there right mind would hire a skinny little kid, who still has a night light and watches hey arnold. get real man. stick with selling lemonade.
but for anyone ranging from 17 and up heres what you got to do. first you need to be a camper. establish yourself, and get regonized. show the camp staff you are not some rich red head from broklen, and you can adapt to the ski bum life style. The next step is to become a cook, or dish washer. show the boss you can work hard. if you play your cards right, you should be able to get the job in three years or so, but if your lucky maybe sooner. the problem is once someone gets the job they keep the job for years to come. its not uncommon for a camp to have the same line of diggers for 5 years. these diggers form a tight bond, and are reluctant to let in new company.



havin been a digger for camp revolution before it went under, all i can say is, that being a digger is not glamerous. long hours, constant gettin yelled at and no action with the females. But if skiing has taken over your life, like a crack addiction, you will do anything to get it, and one of the best ways, is, to become a digger.

Some of you are stupid....diggers, well at least at high north, get to ski more than the coaches. I know some of the other camps make their crews work all day because they are slack asses and can't get it done quick. High North is on it.

yea, you deff. get to ski alot. I've dug at summer camps, and through the winter at a ski area. Summer is way harder.

^ dude shut up about that kind of stuff. not everyone can do that or the camps wouldn't make any money.
