well at my mountain you have to send in your resume in September to get a job, never heard of someone just get one during winter break.

lots of mountains hire extra people over winter breaks.. least in Wa.
best to work a resort for a full season tho.. some of the best times ever were working resorts and living at them for a few yrs.. then reality set in finally $$$ but it was well worth it

Sometimes you can get hired on for just a month during the winter break when the resorts are at their busiest. It doesn't hurt to apply or go to the on mountain hiring day. I just wouldn't get your hopes to far up with your limited availability.
