Best job options for skiing 7 days a week

[Shredhead]

Night Auditer....but only if you can sneak in a 3-4 hour nap on most nights.

I had an Econ/Business degree and that's exactly what I did. If pays fairly well for a skibum job, looks better on a resume and it usually included ski in/out accommodations.
Some of the lodges at Alta would be perfect. It's not like your missing out on night life there and it would include your meals.

Ski your ass off everyday, get some podiums under your belt and then do the trophy husband gig.

So far everything I've heard is that it'd be impossible to work at the lodges up at Alta and travel for comps

[cravenmorhead]

Yeah, your requirements of ski 7 days a week AND have the flexibility to travel for weeks on end for comps makes it pretty tough to hold a real job during the season unless there is some unusually huge demand for your services. I think the "work your ass off all summer at something that pays well" advice above is probably your best bet. A lot of the kayaking/surfing dirtbags I know would do something similar, usually by working as roofers/framing carpenters, though that'll depend on your local market. Roofing can be particularly lucrative even for someone brand new since it's pretty hot shitty work. A few years ago I would have said working oil fields in N. Dakota, but I think those boom times are largely over (or at least on hold) until oil prices go back up.

Waiting tables can be a good gig, particularly if you're working somewhere that serves booze, but like anything else the good jobs will probably be competitive.

Work your ass off over the summer. Like, 6-7 days per week, 10+ hours a day. The people that I know that ski every day all winter, that's how they do it.

Yup. Work a good paying manual labor job (roofer, construction, sheet rocker, etc.) And then collect unemployment during the winter. All the while supplementing your income by being a

Drug dealer

Bartender

Yeah, surprised no one has mentioned this.
Idk how hard it is to get a job like that in SLC, but in Missoula, one would typically get a job checking IDs or bouncing and hope to work up to bar back, then if someone dies, bar tender. You may also be able to start a little higher up the food chain like bar back, "casino attendant," or even bar tender, but on the day shift at some shithole. Then you could move to a busier night time position somewhere better, or even the same place. By the time winter rolls around, you'll have about 6 months of experience.
The ultimate job around here is pouring beers at a tap room. Someone has to die, and then I think you have to blow whoever the hiring manager is. Definitely swallow.

Night janitor is also a thing, but it's not gonna pay well.

Building a business as some kind of marginally self employed "consultant" is what I do. Just make sure your home mountain has cell service.

[detrusor]

Get on as a wild land firefighter. Make enough to be unemployed for the winter

[Meadow Skipper]

^^^ Wildland fire and/or ski patrol.

Not really an option for a fresh graduate IMO.
I believe there's a phrase for this situation, something like, "You can't have your cake & eat it too".

The summer gigs are a tradeoff. One of my best friends does mine reclamation stuff and they are in the field heavy from April-October, but it's not easy work and they're on assignment for weeks at a time. Very tough to plan casual camping or backpacking trips with that kind of schedule, but he does have minimal office time in the winter (just field reports for all the summer's activities).

Good luck.

Some kind of naturey shit like firefighting or trail building is great since you get to be on the government ski team, but the entry-level ​there is pretty brutal.
I still recommend blowing someone who owns a brewery.

2 fucking pages and nobody's mentioned Boy Toy?

Dude, find a rich, older lady (or gentlemen, NTTAWWT) to support your habit. You'll only work nights!

Is that what you did here, just out of scene?

oh yea good idea- I'm so used to it now that I forgot about my future husband's set-up like this.
He skis all week and then does wildlife guiding in the summers. Once in awhile he does a shift in the winter but not frequently

my request for this set up is that I never have to wash a dish ever (I hate washing dishes) and it has worked out well

[mcski]

You need a side piece?

[babybear]

unfortunately salary only adequate for one fairly frugal boy toy

edit: for now bwahahaha

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Reverend Floater

My advice is to not push the envelope--shove that shit. Keep doing freakier and freakier stuff until she bails. I.e. start by sticking a finger in her butt during sex (if you haven't already, shame on you), then do it again but stick it in her mouth afterwards. Next time, paint your willy up into a storm trooper with white out and shit. When she pulls it out, yell "that's the droid your looking for!" The next time, put the storm trooper in her Death Star and shout "It's a trap! The forcefield is still up!" Eventually grauduate to calling her Steve as you try and put everything within arm's reach into her brown lounge. Why, you ask? Because when she explain's to her friends why she's not into you anymore, they'll be DYING to sample the circus, themselves. Not to mention the sweet Star Wars nicknames you'll get around town.

International bank robbery do 4-5 a year change up the MO work alone and you can support skiing and ridding all year.

That could prolly work, just no big jobs. I'd say two rules, one of my own and one I got somewhere else: 1) 6K is a pretty good score and 2) NEVER rob a bank with a loaded gun.

[zartagen]

I heard a story about some guys that robbed the first bank in Vail, escaped up the Vista Bahn and skied out to red cliff.
