Summer Mountain Activities Team Member
May - August 2019 • Vail, CO
What I liked
I got to work on top of a mountain every day. Since I was living in the heart of the Rockies, I did a ton of hiking on the weekends. Every day was a new adventure.
What I wish was different
The pay wasn't too great, and the management system could use some work.
Advice
Don't limit yourself to what your familiar with, go out and try something new!

Wrangler
June - August 2019 • Yellowstone National Park, WY
What I liked
I loved being in a beautiful area, surrounded by two national parks. I got to work with horses which I absolutely love and don't get many chances to during college. It was a special place, with special people, and I enjoyed the boss I worked under. Besides this, there was little cell service and WiFi, so it was an awesome chance to un-plug
What I wish was different
I actually wouldn't change anything, I genuinely enjoyed it so much. This is a crazy statement, but I really had the best summer of my life.
Advice
I would tell people to not be afraid of an adventure. It might seem crazy going out to the middle of nowhere in Wyoming with no WiFi or cell service, but if you're too worried about not putting yourself out there, you are never going to have amazing experiences that stretch and grow you.

Ski Lift Operator
July - October 2019 • Crested Butte, CO
What I liked
The atmosphere of crested butte
What I wish was different
I wish I had worked with Vail my whole college career instead of my last summer here.
Advice
Apply early. If you work for Vail for a few years you will be promoted to easier better paying jobs
