Pros
Nice amount of time off Generally simple work although demanding manual labor can be expected
Cons
There was a very large disconnect between upper management and the day-to-day staff.
Advice to Management
Especially in day-to-day activities, upper management would get involved or say thing to lift operations that was often outside of their understanding. In particular, there was a specific 2 week period where management provided a new layout for the lift maze every day.

Vail Resorts2019-02-14It’s pretty good.
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Vail Resorts
Pros
You get a free Ski or Ride pass with the Job, discounts on gear and food at the resort and with some partners, and some good benefits. They have a pretty good team, and the pass works for most of the vail resorts.
Cons
Long early hours, and it’s really cold most of the time. Sometimes there isn’t really good communication up top and employee lots are rarely snowplowed. You have to be in even in horrible weather conditions.
Advice to Management
Communicate better and plow employee lots, other than that y’all do a great job.
