Maybe they’ll hire locals now. I know someone who has applied for a job at a ski resort for 6 years in a row and has never had so much as a “no thank you” email from the resort.

Plenty of ski enthusiasts would work the resorts during a gap year or after retirement, but they only want to hire J-1s. Now that WFH is common, it could be a nice part time job for someone fully employed.

It’s BS for “I can pay J-1s $3 less per hour than local workers”, multiply that by 5 months of ski season and hundreds of employees and you’ll see it’s simply more profit at the expense of the local economy and local residents.

And the safety of the guests. When I see white guys running the chair lifts, I have zero worry or even thoughts about anything bad happening to me on that lift. If I saw pakis running it...I'd rather walk up the mountain. You know what? Fuck that even. They would also have pakis grooming the runs and doing the avalanche lookouts, so no, that is asking to die.
