What type of skiing are you hoping to do?
As far as rates, expect minimum wage or close to it ($7.25/hr in a lot states, but as high as $9.34 in Washington)

Really? Do you need a level 1?
What resort depends what you're looking for. There are some tiny places and some huge places. Probably better off with mid to big as they have a lot more international people working.
The pay depends on what you do but don't expect to make a lot of loot. Probably will be around 8 an hour for a lifty most places.
Also job depends on the person. Some people like to work outside of the mountain and shred all day, some people like to teach, I like working in the park. It really depends on who you ask.
IT might not be a bad idea to find an area you like and apply to all the good resorts in that area to give yourself a better shot at getting a job at one. Not sure the visa situation but I've heard it can be a huge bitch. I don't think we have anything like the aussie/nz working holiday visas

Taos ski valley hires quite a few international applicants.
They will hire these international employees through the Universal Student Exchange for the 2014-2015 Winter Season.

Dope, steep, quiet mountain. They have a lot of upgrades going down this summer, like a new chair to previously hike to terrain. Should be a good year.
