hourly wage is $15 or so, employee housing is $15/day. and you have to buy your own food...you get discounts at the restaurants but 50% off tourists prices is still outrageous. local grocery stores are also tourist prices. if you have a job where you can earn big tips AND you get a full workweek of ...

my son worked at a fancy hotel at Big Sky over the winter holidays between semesters in college. he had an amazing time and even managed to save a few bucks. I don't however see the job he had as amazing opportunity for a foreign worker to earn/save big bucks. at my local resort, I'm pretty sure the...

Engineers have been working a full 12 months, all through the winter, to try ...

what's even more troubling than BMI is the rise of HBAR in skiing. HBAR = Human Body Arm Ratio that calculates arm length in proportion to height. I understand that to combat excessively long skate ski poles, the FIS is looking to abandon the simple rule of pole height as a proportion of skier heigh...
