It is very interesting for me to know if there are telephones in dorms to connect with my relatives as soon as I arrive in Colter Bay village. Or there are only payphones?
With best regards,
Dina

In the past the recreation director might have been a youngster? I am hoping my age will help with all the different ages/cultures. I look forward to meeting Connie. Are you travellling from the east coast area? I will be coming from Denver area. Any other ideas for rec activities I would love to hear them. Take Care!! Cathy

My husband and I are retiring in the next year or so and hoping to work in the parks. Colter Bay is a favorite camping spot. How was your working experience there? We're headed that direction in June to check it out...Kay

The arrive time of the plain to Jackson Hole will be 8.22 pm. Is it possible to get to Colter Bay Village the same evening? Or have I to stay at a hotel for night?

Thank you very much for your answer. I’ll be working at Café Court and it is very interesting for me to know what kind of place is it. Sorry, but what is the weather like in summer in Colter Bay Village?

I’m going to work In the Colter Bay Village this summer and now I’m buying tickets. So
on my back way the depart time from Jackson Hole airport will be 9.00 am. Is it possible to get to the airport early in the morning from Colter Bay or I have to stay the night in one of Jackson’s hotels not to be late for the beginning of the registration? Or may be it is safer to order the place on a plane which departs in the afternoon? But in this case I arrive to New-York at 11.30 pm, that is not convenient for me. You worked at Colter Bay, you know the area and I hope that you can give me some advices.
I am very sorry for having troubled you.
With best wishes,
Dina

Stanley from there but had just taken a position at the North Rim Grand Canyon. Same company. I did write an email to them this year but they never got back in touch, nore did they call, so again I am glad I passed on that offer.

At 8:37pm on January 23, 2009, S Talley said…: Well, last year was a nightmare, with all employees and management. 90 percent of the staff was either fired or quit before their contract ended due to poor upper management, they've basically had to replace every major management role so that may be why they're slow to respond.
Calling and checking on your application status might help.
From what I understand, the new General Manager they've brought in (bc the other one got himself fired) is a real General and will shape the place up with a no-non-sense attitude.
You're looking at about 60 to 70 or more employees in the area, and about half that that live on-site.

Olympic National Park is amazingly beautiful though. I think at Crescent you'd be able to have a better time then Sol Duc because the rooms are more private.
