Ski Resort Workers

Advancement is determined by a worker's experience, skill, level of education, and starting position. Ski lift operators can be promoted to department supervisors of that division, general supervisors, and finally, management. Ski instructors may begin their careers by giving beginner's lessons or children's lessons and then advance to intermediate- or expert-level classes. Experienced instructors with good reputations may develop a following of students. They may also be promoted to department supervisor or management. Lodge employees may be promoted to positions with increased responsibilities such as shift supervisor or manager.
