I Most ski resort jobs suck,. but noone likes to be jerked around, especially at the end of the season, when it can cost you a job for the summer.
Most season pass holders are ski bums or retirees, at least that I saw at Jackson Thats just my observation, not based on stats (Id love to see some real data). As such, they might frequent the restaurant more often, but often order cheap stuff or just drinks, then expect a deal because they are "pass holders", and tend to not tip as well. I dealt with it everyday in Jackson. So unless you've been in my position and experienced something different, trying to argue otherwise is pretty dumb if you ask me.

AR...one season working at some food place in Teton Village does not put you in the position to analyze and make generalizations about the behavior of season pass holders. Sure, when working at ANY resort your going to confront rude people. Perhaps they are just rude people having nothing to do with being a sp holder.
Most sp holders are not ski bums or retirees. Ski resorts close in April/May, summer jobs do not start until late May/June. Your comment that working the extra day "will cost you a job for the summer" is ludicrious.
Many people have been in your position, including myself(17 years working at JH, 9 years for the resort, 7 years at the Bush) most of the employees I know do not think their ski resort jobs suck.
Perhaps these alleged sp holders who were mostly ski bums(btw,you can't be a ski bum if you have a sp, it's a rule) and retirees didn't tip you very well was the result of your service and attitude towards them.
Lastly, you are welcome to disagree with me and you would not be dumb in doing so, calling people who disagree with you as dumb shows a real lack of maturity.
I bet you had an incredible experience this past winter, especially with the epic snow out there this year. Post what you know, not what you don't. peace

You know your a Vermont woodchuck if ya hear someone mention NSynch and your thinking it's where your dirty dishes are. Okay...that did happen to me but they were really piling up and was thinking they needed some attention.
