Ann Carr replied to susan wells's discussion questions"The Tetons are owned by Rock Resorts which also owns Vail... If you do go for a job there, then ask to be put in Dorm #11 and room #11. Not a bad place to hang out. I worked for GTLC for two years as the accounts receivable manager…"

Chat - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly II at Here on My CoolWorks
November 28, 2011 from 6pm to 7pm
We've had this chat before, but it's a good one to have. We hope that when people enter the seasonal workforce they know what they're getting into. So come with your stories about the good stuff of seasonal work, the bad and hopefully not too much ugly. 9pm Eastern / 8pm Central / 7pm Mountain / 6pm Pacific / 5pm AlaskaSee More

Hey Susan, I had applied for Allen Marine @ Ketchikan and they have housing they offer, had several interviews but didn't get job. HAP in Denali provides housing. I worked for DNC @ Old Faithful and stayed in dorms there last year had a great time. They had a lot of couples working there too. You should have no problems finding couples housing @ most job locations. BTW......I will be 62 in October so age should be no problem for U 2!
