Are You In Colorado??

Hey guys - I'm new to this seasonal work thing. I'm a New Yorker, picking up and taking off to Colorado, in search of a job in a ski resort for the winter. Was wondering if there were any fellow Colorado people out there!

I worked in the main ticket office, at the mountain!

I will prob be getting an apartment this year in steamboat, but they are expensive, and harder to come by at the moment!!!

where you thinking about working???; ▶ Reply to This

I'm opting for an apartment this year!!!!
