Hey guys,

I am moving to Buffalo in the next month, Ive been sending out resumes left and right and id like to send some out to the nearby ski resorts. I have 3 years park experience but really just looking to stay in the resort industry. If anyone has any advice or has worked at either of these resorts that would be greatly appreciated.

If you do this and get the job / do a good job it'd be a great way to get your foot in the door and work into the park crew in the winter if that's what you're trying to do.

Park jobs are never a guarantee though. Sometimes everyone comes back, sometimes they already have people in mind for jobs that don't exist and when they open up they're instantly filled in house. If you haven't talked with anyone or worked at either in the summer check the job listing on the websites once in a while starting mid to late september.

If you're going to be living there regardless and a park spot doesn't open you can always take a job doing something else and mention that you would like to work into the park if your get the chance. Do a good job and kill it at whatever you're doing even if the job sucks. Make friends with park crew, that always helps. You have previous experience which is HUGE. You might be able to line up a spot for next year or snag something mid season if somebody get's hurt or fired. Also depending on the size of the crew they run maybe they need extra help for park builds, contests or if somebody calls in.
 
Thanks that's a big help, hopefully I can use my college degree to do something big boyish, I'd love a second job on te weekends doing park. And yea all that makes since now that I think about it. My resort has had two new park guys in three years. I also found out Leki is stationed there so hopefully my resume can do some work and be able to find a salary job in the industry
