No idea. The info online says something about the Alpine Club. I'm assuming that's what you're referring to, but there's zero info about it.

If I remember correctly it's around 100k to join Stowe's Spruce Peak club but that included golf too I believe. I know someone that is a member at Telluride's club that's located within the base of Mountain Village. It's 50k to join without golf, 250k to join with golf. I believe those numbers are kind of the going ski/golf membership rates at the higher end resorts in Colorado. If your not a golfer all you really get access to is a fancy Lodge to have drinks at after a day of skiing, a few events here and there, parking, and a locker. Stowe's club is the exact same set up but cheaper.

I'm going to do my best and ignore all the BS at Stowe..and just ski...yeah..I'm lucky to be able to do it midweek...
Weekends..well by then I'll have 4 or 5 days in between there and SB..so I won't care.
Same. Free & easy parking. No lines M-Th except 1st chair on a powder day. Tons of daily vert. Great terrain. Stoked for the season to begin.

So w/ just a few weeks before ski season starting, Attitash is finally looking for some very essential positions.
Groomers, Patrollers..... Ha ha Good luck w/ the left overs. Most qualified prospects were scooped up already by BW, Pleasant, & Crotched.

Hunter's hiring day is tomorrow. Did the same last year, way to late in the year to start recruiting even at $20.

And if you were going to work there - would you want an indoor job cleaning tables or stand out in the weather for $20? Or cleaning the men's room for $20 when you could be running a cash register? This should be interesting.........

If I were going to work there, my preference would definitely be outdoors. Cleaning up other people's garbage or bodily waste is pretty low on my list of desirable activities.

Our neighbors kid went to Attitash last Sat and then again yesterday to try to get a job as a newbie liftie or as a ski instructor which he has done for 2 years. No one around in main office, or guest services. No one answering the phones. Looked around both days for 1-2 hours. Went to Pleasant/Shawnee at 2pm Monday and was hired as both a liftie & ski instructor.

Vail can't even help themselves. Their "mgmnt" couldn't care less about having the majority of positions unfilled

No need to visit the place, just apply on line, that’s how the world works now

I am hearing lots of jobs around the ski resort will go un filled as every one crowds into the vail resorts for the 20 hr, Wilmington/ Dover is beginning to have this problem
