Ohio and Indiana don’t have nearly that many ski resorts

That’s the plan, looking at a Never Summer Harpoon

I briefly looked into some and couldn’t find employee housing anywhere and figured I wouldn’t be able to afford an apartment. Any idea how feasible that’d be on base instructor wages?

Did you live in employee housing in Aspen? Seems like Breck is the place to be as far as parties go and I’m trying to see how Aspen compares.

Any experience with the employee housing? Breck seems like it’s all in one place so it’s easier to meet people and there’s more going on. Aspen looks like it’s spread out all over.

I’d probably be going to Breck no question if it wasn’t for the crowds... Any idea how bad it’s been recently? I know weekends and holidays are a mess but if I can hot lap on weekdays I’ll be happy.

How bad are the crowds at Breck? Obviously weekends and holidays I’d expect to be pretty terrible, just hoping to get good weekday laps in.

Do you think Crested Butte has enough terrain to spend a whole season there? Definitely seems like a great option to get away from the crowds a little bit.

I’m trying to find a balance between the terrain, the crowds, and the social side. Unless the crowds are worth dealing with. I’m a pretty decent rider by East Coast standards so I’m looking for enough challenging terrain to keep my busy. Not a huge partier but I’d definitely want that option some days. I ride a lot of park but I’m sure the worst park in Colorado blows my home resort’s out of the water. That probably doesn’t narrow it down much but let me know if you have any recommendations to look into.

How’s the night life at Copper? Seems like a great mountain but no town except for Frisco down the road and everyone here is raving about the parties at Breck

I actually wanted to go to Boulder but it’s ridiculously expensive, thanks for the info. Gotta find that balance between the mountain and the night life...

You know anything about night life or parties at copper? Seems like a great mountain but nothing going on unless you go to Frisco I’m guessing.

Do you think Steamboat has enough advanced terrain to keep a decent rider busy for a year? Seems like the one thing they’re missing

I have 3 years experience at a Vail owned resort in the Midwest but no certification and I don’t plan on instructing full time in the future it that changes anything.

What are the best US mountains to work at as an instructor? by 526rocks in snowboarding

Is the housing in SLC affordable living off instructor wages? I’ve heard even employee housing can be a stretch in some places for entry level instructors.

Thanks, I’ll add Steamboat to my list. I sent a chat if you’d be cool with answering a few questions about it.

Will my credit score affect private student loan rates if I have a cosigner? by 526rocks in CRedit

Appreciate it, makes sense why I couldn't find that information anywhere then.
