This is a rear view of my good friend Jonathan Lawson. Jonathan is an instructor and instructor-trainer at Breckenridge. He is also one of the best trainers in the industry. If you taught at Breckenridge, you just might be lucky enough to train under Jonathan. But that’s not the only perk you get for working at Breck. You’ll also get a ski pass, food and gear discounts, and depending on how many hours you work, a pass for your family members. Even better, the pass will give you access to Keystone, ABasin and ten days at Vail or Beaver Creek.

If you don’t feel quite ready to teach skiing or snowboarding, there are other jobs available. I’ve outlined the jobs and hiring process in this article, which comes complete with the appropriate links. But keep in mind that there are pros and cons to working at a ski area. While the pros are obvious, you should realize that you will have to be “on” all the time, it can get cold, and, if you teach, you might end up teaching kids. If these things don’t bother you, by all means, apply, but do it soon. Ski season is quickly approaching.

Here’s something you may not realize. You don’t have to be a full-time resident to apply for some of these jobs. Some of them only require a 14 day commitment. However, if you stay at a Breckenridge hotel each time you come here, it can get pretty expensive. Instead, why not consider one of the many Breckenridge condos for rent in this fabulous town?
