Being a lifty was the best job I ever had. I’m definitely going to go back one day.

[@IAmNotSnowcat]

I've often contemplated pursuing such a job for maybe just one or two ski seasons once I'm older, but I never quite knew what it would have for me. This is exactly what I needed, and the comments are the extra motivation. I don't know what to say, but thank you? I have no clue what the future has in store for me, but this is a much more appealing option to me now.

Thumbs up on the podcast. Good on you for living your best life as a young guy in a dream job. Altho, when I saw the title, I thought you meant an epic 7 mile ski run LOL.

This vídeo brought me some nostalgia from the days I was a lifty in a ski hill in Wisconsin! This vídeo made my day.

Hello! Awesome video and amazing experiencie, I am a little curious to look for a job as a lifty. Even though I don't have strong experiencies skiing I was told that I can have an interview and maybe be able to get a job. Wold you recomend this job for a rookie? If you do what recomendations can you give me? I have worked in so many areas in the tourism industry, lately at cruises, I love to keep learning new things... Thanks for showing. Subscribed!

i just recently started working as a ski lift operator, thank you for sharing a bit of your perspective/knowledge

[@cameronpow2680]

Do you get time to ski, if so how much or how does it work.

[@zackgaul4436]

@@cameronpow2680 i only get time to ski on my days off but i dont even ski.

[@Crazy_Alex_7667]

When the lift closes do the people at the top tide down or ski/ quad down if summer

[@richardgilloway1902]

Yes

[@pootinplays]

where did the dog go?

[@Coldstreamer17]

You got a dang microwave? Wow.. well atleast where I am I get a 1/2 an hour lunch and we get to ride the lift back down. Also we get 2 breaks, one before lunch halfway from when we start and the 2nd from after lunch halfway from when we end.

[@HOLZMANTV]

I remember working chair 16 in Mammoth as an 18 year old thanks for taking me back.

[@fleeece9412]

hey i would like to ask you some questions about that. im going to be in a similar situation soon. can you give me your insta oder something like that? :D

Do you get any tips? I'm hired as lift operator for wat program but it doesn't really pay too good.

[@everydaylife9611]

Ok in the biggining (in your car) you had ur dog what ahppened to him once you got to the mountian?

[@ted8831]

Randomly interesting! Do you get a snowmobile to get to your lift or a snowboard?

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

Looks like he boards to me.......

Thank you for this I just got a job up at beaver creek Colorado as lift operator and this helped me a lot any tips??

I just got offered a job at beaver creek as well two days ago do they help with getting to Colorado from home

[@jsinjoe]

Niiiicceee bro...

[@timmo5192]

Nice edited video blog. I just applied work for ski season in NZ about 8 jobs, got rejected from lifty, got offered a barista job, and I think I got a few bartender job offers for ski season coming in now. I actually worked lifty before but for me was a bit boring you make it look more fun.

[@TomatoWithARifle]

bartender job will probably pay you more with tips

[@milzyywilzyy9922]

Hey how'd this go I've just applied to be a lifty this season hoping for the best

[@timmo5192]

@@milzyywilzyy9922 There is heaps of jobs but no accommodation in Queenstown, its fun to live there for a bit but also gets a bit tiring sometimes. I stayed longer and summer was way nicer.

[@milzyywilzyy9922]

@@timmo5192 you reckon I've got good odds at Whakapapa then? lol

[@timmo5192]

@@milzyywilzyy9922 Not sure about that area, maybe apply the ski resorts in Queenstown and request accommodation with work. Even hostels are hard to stay now. By way I ended up just bartending as the money was better.

Any spring jobs the would be in the same category of work?

Haha, what a small world! Thanks for watching.

[@alexlol5062]

hey uh can being a ski operator be a part time job like only for winter or u have to only work there

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

Depends on the resort. Some are bike parks in the summer so still need to operate the lifts. Most guys just do it to be close to the mountain so they can ski/board in their time off. There will be a core of maintenance and management who have permanent positions, but most operators are younger more transient people. It aint exactly a career with prospects of massive promotions and I don't expect it pays fantastically, but like I said, the snow draws them in......

Lifty first tracks are the best! I usually beat ski patrol.

I have to ski to my lift. Ski patrol has to stop at there shack and clean off toboggans so I am usually the first one down.

Never seen a lifty who listens to Ben Shapiro

Wow...No EMAX controls. RIP Bud F.

[@bodefishing8773]

Get to ski to ur lift on fresh groomers no one has touched is very nice and a perk to the job

[@zBMatt]

I’d hate this job simply because I’d be jealous of all the people on the slopes.

[@rterry2752]

Did Stowe VT T lift. $2.50 an hour, boring as all get out.
