Ski resort job openings boon for locals
By Bill O’Driscoll, Reno Gazette-Journal
As snow starts to pile up on the Sierra, the region’s ski resorts are seeking seasonal help for the coming winter.
During the next few weeks, most of the resorts will hold on-site job fairs for positions on and off the slopes.
At Squaw Valley USA, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1960 Winter Olympics in early 2010, nearly one-half of the resort’s planned 800 to 900 seasonal jobs have been filled.
