Hey newschoolers,
I'm in my first yr of college and excited to have over a month of winter break. I'm trying to figure out a way I could afford to stay in colorado and ski over break and was wondering if anyone knows if ski areas ever hire employees over college breaks, ideally with employe housing. I figure this is a long shot but lmk,
thanks ns!

would be tough, most people/co-workers ive had over the years that need to rely on employee housing are there for the long-haul till the spring and its extremely difficult to get into housing at the beginning of the year. doesn't hurt to try, though. Just make sure that your employers are cool with it just being a month, ive always found it impossible to get a job when you lay it out and say youll only be there for a short period.

Thats why you act like you're in it for the long haul, then when times up, pack your bags and head out!

Pay someone so you can sleep on couch. Move around to the mountains that have the best powder.
