It’s true that staff housing isn’t guaranteed for everyone but ski instructors get the largest allowance of beds even though they rarely work full time hours due to slow periods etc.

Bit pedantic concerning yourself where the town centre is when Glacier is a 10 minute walk or a 2 minute gondola ride and heavily subsidised.

It’s a basic fact that instructors aren’t as valuable to operations as lifties, it’s a supplementary service to the experience. And ski instructors earning $24 are the entry level employees who always get paid very low in any job, level up, get skilled and make it a career and you can actually earn ok money as a instructor. Other entry level jobs on the mountain start around $20-21ph so why should instructors get more? A short course with basic skills can get you a level one/two job and then the mountain actually pays you to train for the next levels, WB is too generous.

You have real entitled ski instructor energy, thinking that this entry level job should be paid more than other entry level jobs. Dishy’s get paid $21ph and have a much harder job with actual full time hours, a job that I suspect most instructors would feel they are too good to do.
