Thats also cause this season has been so shit that they don’t even have hours for the full time people. They’re having instructors in lift ops and F&B…
Yeah, this season really has been a complete disaster. I feel so badly for the employees. Even though I am disappointed with the snow, I have still skied and I have made a point not to be an asshat to the employees. Just being nice has gone a long way. I have been very surprised by how friendly and helpful a lot of them have been in what has been a terrible season. The last time we had a bad season a lot of employees were really shit on and that trickled down to the guests. This year what I have been seeing has been a different tune--much to my surprise.

I've seen lots of Facebook and other Socials posts from J1's seeking odd jobs etc....
The J1s have it better than most of the resort workers because their contract requires them to get at least 32 hours a week. But if theyre in a tipped position I’m sure the moneys not too good this season with the lack of people around.
Personally I don’t mind I’ve been busy with a new job and haven’t skied as much so selfishly am hoping this bad year plus last years strike and Sundance leaving makes PC a lot slower and cheaper next year.
