Where to live
Hey everyone, I just worked my third season in Jackson Hole. I was a first year ski instructor and my girlfriend was a lifty. I grew up skiing Aspen but the few people I’ve talked to said it’s nearly unattainable to live there. I’m curious about a few things, how much can a level 1 or 2 ski instructor expect to make? Where do people live to get a place to themselves? My girlfriend and I have gotten spoiled and would really need a one bedroom or studio with all the appliances and also that is dog friendly. Are there any employee housing units like that? Or is it all a multi bedroom shared type of thing? I figured Basalt is the best option for apartment rentals. We just stopped through Aspen on our way down to Florida for the summer. I talked to some locals working around town and I got the itch to try and make Aspen work. Anyway I appreciate the input. Bonus points if any ski instructors can give me some hope with stories of massive tippers and cool deals like dog sitting and baby sitting for billionaires.
