Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

is being a lift op (liftie) worth it?

hi all,
sorry if this isn't the place for this, but hopefully someone can provide some advice, or maybe even share some personal experiences...
has anyone ever been a lift operator? know anyone who has? i'm considering being one this winter out in salt lake city. my only reservation at this point is that i was told (at the mountain i'm looking at) lift ops work 5 days a week (all day long the days they work) and i'm wondering how much skiing i'll actually get to do. i know that you rotate positions so you get a run every so often (every hour maybe?). but would i be able to get significantly more skiing in if i got a different job, like working at a lodge or restuarant on the mountain?
i don't mind shovelling snow or working out in the cold...i just want to ski!
as a liftie, will i get to ski enough to satisfy my urges?

thanks all,
manz

I can't help you with any facts; you would have a glorious view, but it could get a bit dull...

This is America you have to have an inane grin on your face, work out a hundred different ways of saying 'have a good one'. With the deepest insincerity, then go ballistic if you do not receive a tip half the GDP of a developing nation.

Tip for a lifty? never seen it. Mind you, the only place I have skied in North America was Fernie - didn't see it happening there.

The best job that lets you get a lot of skiing in is as a bar person on the evening shift, typically this means being able to ski from 10.30 till 15.30 plus getting tips, lifties have to do a lot of hard work, look for evening jobs to get as much time on the slopes as possible
