Hey NS! I have competing job offers to work at Squaw Valley or Mammoth Mountain for next season. They both pay about the same so I'm kinda stuck. Which one should I choose? Any inside info especially form anyone who has worked at either is greatly appreciated!

I worked for mammoth for 4 years and had a great time. What department do you have a job offer for?

As long as you don't mind shoveling you are going to have a great time.

So tell me about your experiences at Squaw?

Each are different.

If you want to ski park, go to Mammoth.

If you want to ride big mountains and gnarly lines, go to Squaw.

It's pretty easy, but Squaws overall terrain is much better and in good snow years you get that plus a good park.

Mammoth all the way. never worked for mammoth but have worked for alpine meadows for 7 years and when squaw came in and bought them 3 years ago things changed drastically for employees and for the worse. and this is just like my opinion man... but KT-22 and olympic lady are the only lifts worth skiing at squaw.
