Replying to How to move out west

Gonna hit up NSG for some real advice one time

Currently living in Montreal Canada, and it is looking like my next semesters of trade school are going to be online (no point to online hands-on work) so I am committed to moving to the west coast for this ski season. I Have two homies from Vermont joining for the trip and we plan on driving out, looking for work, followed by a residence. Preferably on-mountain resort work with all benefits included (szn pass ect). I have experience as a Freeride coach on the east coast (mostly junior) competition circuit. Currently working at a bike shop as a mechanic full time in Montreal and hoping to transfer those skills to the West next summer. We don't have too much of a plan but I'm a dual citizen so working in USA is no problem legally. The West coast is big and could be challenging to navigate as a northeaster. Utah looks tight and slc is close to the mountains, but I'm here to ask for advice on locations, tips, and any past experiences from people who've made the trek out west, or moved from Canada to the United States.
