That also means that there is very little work to be done and paychecks stink! But, it's a roof over the head, warm food in the tummy, free laundry and better wi-fi with fewer people on the system. Lots of snowy fun (if you wish it) and the people get closer, because there are so few employees and you're in the snowy mountains hanging out together!

Roommates are just decided based on any preferences you might of listed on your contract before you sent it in. They are pretty cool about letting you switch after you get there if their is open space available.
