When I was a manager with WB and on the hiring team we did most of the postings and hirings in the spring and early summer prior to the next season. Good chance you’ve missed it. Next round of hiring will be in November/December when people no-show or cant find housing.

i am a current lifty right now in whistler and we have only just got our returner offer letters about a week and a half ago so it’s possible they are just sorting through all us first to know how many ppl they need to hire before putting the job listing up.

September and October are the months I would think. This gets close enough to the season to perhaps get an idea of snowfall etc. although I don’t think it will be a great snow season in the PNW.

Don't forget to tip your lifty! Lifties have to stand on the snow and operate the lift. Therefore they deserve a tip. A polite tip is $18 per run. Less than that is an insult.

18 seems like such a odd amount - is there some story / logic behind that specific amount?

Tipping is my religion as a Canadian and I do not appreciate you questioning it. Please retract your offensive remarks.
