The temps in the summer are perfect although sometimes it can get rainy. Princess Lodges and Aramark are big companies that hire thousands. Pricess has many properties, including Cooper Landing which is an awesome place to be. The fishing, hiking, photography, camping, berry-picking, bonfires, festivals are abundant. Come on up!!! :0); ▶ Reply to This

I worked there this summer and although I enjoyed it most people may not. You will be very isolated Coldfoot can be an 8 hour drive to civilization there is absolutely nothing around for hundreds of miles. Some people might like that. You will work with a small group of people maybe around 30 in the summer and less then 10 in the winter. A majority of the buisness is truckers and pipeline workers. These people are very friendly for the most part, you just wont be seeing a huge toursist traffic flow. The company I worked for was awesome they take care of the coworkers very well. Free room and board and the food is the best I every had. Let me know if you have any questions I can hook you up with some friends still working up there.

I had an incredible time. I can't say enough positive things about the company and the coworkers. You should definitely know what you are getting into...you'll be out in the middle of nowhere. For me, that was just what i was looking for.

The temperature in the summer is great.

I highly, highly recommend applying to Coldfoot if you are looking for a relaxed, amazing, truly unique summer experience.; ▶ Reply to This
