There's no other mountain nearby that would hire at 14+?





Maybe you can do some kid of intern as a ski instructor. Unpaid work a little here and there, do some clinics, get a free pass, and a job for next season

I poached hyland hills for 10 years straight.  Pretty stupid looking back but I got to ski for free!  Although, I only rode their park via tow rope.

go house to house and offer to rake leaves?

winter is coming there has got to be a lot of yard work to be done.

or go to the store and buy those pumpkin leaf backs for whatever. divide the total price after tax by the number of bags. this is what you have to sell the bags for to clear a profit. then add a reasonable amount on top for your profit margin. halloween is coming and people always want more of those pumpkin/novelty leaf bags for decoration.

whole trick about making money is finding what people need or will need in the future then adjust your approach to that.

when i said backs i mean bags. and when i said divide total cost by total number of bags, it should be to break even or be at zero profit..

Email them and ask to volunteer for a pass... A lot of resorts do that, even the big ones out here on the West Coast (didn't see where you live.)

Alex you really need to hop off the hatetrain.

You have Sundown, and we have Southington. Which obviously has worse features, but the environment is 10X better.

Not even hating bro. And the "environment" part is definetly an opinion, plus you've never been to sundown.

Please refrain calling me by my first name though, thanks. I don't even know you, so it's kinda weird.

Ok, done "hating"... :I

OKSRY I'll call you Alexis. So Alexis I have been to Sundown and I have to say the jumps were garbo. Le rails were better than Southington's but I think the amount of shenanigans we have compensates.
