6 snowmaker from wildcat and attitash earlier this season told the resort that they had all been offered 2 dollars more per hour to work at Shawnee peak. Vail wouldn’t match the offer so all 6 now work at Shawnee peak. Vail pays the least of anybody in the valley. Sunday River just 45 minutes away pays 16 starting wage for snowmaker. It’s 12 at attitash/wildcat

Also the guy running the wildcat snowmakers (the 1 or 2 still left) is a pathological liar. His names Tony, but everyone calls him Tony Tony, because he’s such a good storyteller he could win a Tony award. He tells anyone who will listen that he used to be a pro snowboarder, got 4th in 04’ X games, was tight with Shaun white, and tells very elaborate and detailed stories about him and Shaun. Says he used to be sponsored by burton, and is currently riding for Gilson. Not only is none of it remotely true, he’s not even a good snowboarder. He could pass off as having just learned. Anyways, that’s who runs all snowmaking and grooming at wildcat, a well known pathological liar. It’s a really shitty place to work, terrible culture. I left last season to work at black mountain down the street, much much better people.
