Im going to move to Utah next year and i was wondering how it was working at Alta and living there. If anyone could help me out getting a job there that would be awesome.

It's like dorms, only tighter quarters, and dorms that would have been replaced long ago at an actual college. You make about $500 a month after room/board expenses. But you get free food, get to ski most days, and you're livin the pura vida at Alta. Not that hard to get a job if you arrange it in advance, there are several places to try to get a job at. I'd recommend p-dog, Collins, Alfs. The rustler is slightly less chill from what I've seen, but I've never lived up there myself, just know a lot of people that do. Pretty wild time from all accounts.

Oh, and your skiing will be pushed to places you can barely imagine now. The dorms up there are full of some of the hardest rippers around.

Damn sounds like a sick time im going to really have to look into that. But even in those little rooms can u still blaze before you go ski?

I'd say the majority of alta employees smoke reefer, I wouldnt worry much about that, besides you can just blaze in the woods or on the lift. The only real raw deal about living up there is the actual rooms they stick you in, Ive seen peruvian employee housing and rustler employee housing, and its basically 4 stinky ski bums and all their gear in a 10x15 room with 2 bunkbeds, but fuck it I'm sure you'll rip ass at skiing by the end of the season

Calm down....its only funny because the kids at alta get down with the pot 24/7, thats all they do is smoke pot and ski. In their rooms, on the hill....wherever.
