Come April when my semester is done, i would like to get away from things and possibly work out west for my 4 month summer. I’m sick of working weekends here… I have heard mixed things about working out there, wages, living accomodations etc etc… What i have heard is that resorts will pay for flight over, you get living accomodations… and decent pay… I’m really not looking for a huge wage, i just want a change… Has any had experience or know anyone that went out maybe last year to work … doesnt even have to be out west… Any good websites that can better answers things? All im finding are ski resort employment and well i don’t plan to go out there till after that season… Thanks, Derek. ---
