Advice about lifty jobs in Banff 2008/09 season?

Question

Hey all,

I'm planning on living in Banff for the 08/09 season where I would like to work as a lifty. I was wondering if anyone has any advice about getting a lifty job?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers everyone,

Answer 1

Give in your resume AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !

There are probably thousands of people applying for lifty jobs... it's really hard if you give in your resume too late. Especially for Sunshine Village.

If you get it in as early as it is available, then do it. It won't be a guaranteed pick.. but at least you have a chance

Be sure to be stand the cold !

Answer 2

The best way to get  a job on the ski hill is to show up and personally apply. We have 3 ski resorts in Banff, they are Norquay, Sunshine, and Lake Louise. If you're here, there is a good bet you can get a job doing something at one of them. Remember, they employ a lot of help in the winter other than lifties. You could work in the lodge, kitchen, maintenance, parking, in the hotel (sunshine), rental shops.

Good luck, and maybe I'll see you up there this winter!
