if u know anyone that works at alta you might be in luck. some places up there offer an "employee's friend" deal, where you work an hour after the ski day is over, and you get a free roof over your head. at alf's (midmountain restaurant albion side), if ur a worker's buddy you can work only one hour after the mountain has closed at the restaurant, just helping to clean up 'n shit, and you get free food, as well as a free couch to sleep on, or mattress that you can put in a storage room or their garage for the snowcat.
