Not working for VR

I’m writing in reference to your article about Vail Resort’s “evolved” kids ski lessons prices. Let’s face it! Prices are going up on just about everything, however VR is again manipulating their power in this valley.

I have lived here for 14 years and have worked up to three jobs at once and thankfully avoided working for the “man” at Vail Resorts. Now, because VR was not aggressive enough in their lobby for J-1 employees for the resort industry, they are trying to “encourage” overworked parents to work as “very limited part-time” employees on the mountain in exchange for discounted ski lessons for their children.

What a bunch of ?&%^! So the day we put our kids in ski school we are supposed to work on the mountain handing out maps? Why not get innovative with recruiting instead of trying to manipulate locals into working for your company. Shame on you, Vail Resorts! What’s difference between a VR employee and a working mom? About 128 hours of work (round the clock) and in my case, lipstick!

Thanks but no thanks!
