Staffing Challenges

We are fortunate to have a great snowpack, and extended season. At the start of the season, there was a full compliment of lift operators, and a few part timer spares. Before the holidays were over, those who wanted part time were working full time.

Things are stretched now to the point that I was loaded by an electrician yesterday, and the hill manager today. Being a lift operator involves some of the time outside in inclement weather. There are operators who do well and come back for a second season, and those who don't last a season. For those who stick it out, there is an end of season bonus.

Tomorrow starts the one chair per day, see the calendar above for the schedule.

Alpine Base this morning.
