Underplayed and overworked. You can make WAY more $ working at restaurants or hotels even after you factor in the pass.

plus the large majority of the time youll be working during the day, unlike at somewhere like a restaurant where you can shred everyday. Obviously skiing for work would be a fun way to work, but id still rather get to always go ski however i like. Also if you work for a bigger restaurant or hotel they will normally be able to finance your pass for free if you dont have all the cash for it by the start of the season.

Yeah some places will even pay for your pass. E.g. i have a couple of homies that work in Starbucks and they get a free season pass during winter, BC health care, dental, and a bunch of other sweet perks. I heard that the spaghetti factory is pretty tight also.

On busy periods in ski school, you can be working up to 10 days in a row and when it comes to your day off all you want to do is sleep or you will be way tired to ski they way you want.

^i have a lot of friends who work at spag, definitely a good place. Super busy, a lot of shifts, and basically everyone works there. Idk, I would, find a bigger restaurant for the summer. I worked at a smaller fine dining place (Nita lake lodge) and it payed well, but it was always so quiet with not a lot of shifts after mid April (dead season).
