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.

Exactly. Again, cheaper wages. Hire American. It's not like these resorts can't afford it. I've never been skiing but what do these people charge? $300 or so a head?

$300? Thats like a cheap room for one night. Thats only the room, you have ~$250/DAY in lift tickets.. then you may have equipment rentals if you don't have your own skis/boots and whatever other gear you may want like gloves, helmet/goggles, etc.

Thats the bare minimum. You can easily spend 1k per day staying at a resort on the mountain.

Damn I had no idea. So they can afford to hire Americans.
