Not your average snow resort job.

I reckon it’d be a great gig, because once you’re done, the rest of the day’s your own - and lifts can’t open until you’re done.

I don’t think the pay’s that great, but I was really stoked to hear that Ruapehu have kept the promise they made to him to lure him back for this season. He’s about to start cat/groomer training with the Ruapehu crew, and he’ll be qualified to work OS by the time the NH season kicks off! If he ends up choosing to work at Whistler, I’ll let you know.

definitely be hard work and suck sometimes but I can think of worse jobs to do in the ski season…as chucky said, you can ride all day after it and still be raking in the moolah!
