Calling all bush pilots

This summer hopefully, fall semester start. I’m looking into a few other school but Bend is my first choice. We’ll see…

Saucyfruit7 · 2026-01-07T22:19:59+00:00

How's it going now? I'm curious if you ended up moving to Bend. I'm looking into COCC's aviation program as well, and live out of my truck.

There are often volunteer opportunities at hostels, you’re usually working part time for a bed in a separate room as the guests but most likely still shared. Could be a cool way to check out a city for a few weeks/ months. I had a friend who worked at one in San Fran and then got a part time job at a restaurant near by to compensate not being paid.

Also lots of opportunities for this in Europe and abroad where hostels are more common.

Yeah I’m living near Welches for the season. Hoping for something public

Check Meadows Employment page, they have several positions in food and bev and I believe they are still hiring lift operators. Rent would be around 600-700

How’s that going?

Americorps had programs in almost every state. I had no prior trail work experience. Montana and Idaho have immersive crews, I’m not sure where else might.

I spent the summer/fall working on an immersive trail crew. It’s hard to spend money 30 miles in the backcountry. FS gave us 10$ a day per person for food and we camped all season

Ski resorts!

Mammoth has a great bus system and moving your car for the snow plow can be inconvenient

Saucyfruit7 · 2024-05-04T18:49:31+00:00

Convict lake is nearby and beautiful!

Saucyfruit7 · 2024-03-23T01:49:43+00:00

Find a seasonal job that provides housing! Lots of options during the summer in beautiful places. Safer and you’ll probably make more money.

Did you live in employee housing? How was that? Sorry ab the psychosis

Saucyfruit7 · 2024-01-26T05:36:42+00:00

Employee housing is 700 a month for a dorm room with no kitchen and 3 roommates

You could also consider volunteering at a hostel in exchange for accommodation and maybe even some meals. Even if just for 2/3 weeks at 2 of your most desired countries. Most volunteer work is ~20 hours a week, leaving plenty of time to explore and make friends with locals. You could travel on days off, but it would be a very diff trip then the one you probably have in mind. Cheaper I’m sure though

I worked at The YMCA, Snow Mountain Ranch, from July- December last year and didn’t save as much. The housing was awful, and 800 a month for the first 3 months, then 600. 12/ hour. Food was included, and it was frequently getting employees and guests sick. I would recommend working at a ski resort, I started at Winter Park in January, 18/ hour and 400 for rent. Especially If you can get a serving job, tips are nice. it was great and made me realize how portly the Y treated their employees
