Aspen One reviews

- Being part of the expansive Aspen SkiCo community - Having access to the training and educational opportunities encouraged by Aspen SkiCo - Having access to free group lessons and clinics to improve your own skiing. - Enjoying discounts on gear, restaurants and even lodging in Aspen/Snowmass. - Being able to take advantage of the Colorado Real Deal, which allows employees to ski for free at such Colorado resorts as Crested Butte, Telluride, Steamboat Springs, Durango, and more. - Having a job with such a clear path toward advancement: PSIA certifications, gaining rank via hours accumulated, recognition from supervisors, etc. - Leadership (even Kaplan, our CEO!) is incredibly accessible and interested in your experience. - Watching your students make tangible progress and their excitement about that progress. - Working for one of the most environmentally progressive companies in the country.

They hire based on people skills, not skiing ability, which makes for an awesome work environment. If all you have ever wanted to do is teach skiing, this is the place to do it. You start off getting paid around $12 and hour for teaching, but every 75 hours you teach you get about a $3/hour raise, so by the end of the season you are pulling in close to $30 for group lessons. Privates are even better. Sometimes you will go days without a tip, other times you will get tipped over $1,000. If I just wanted to make a living in a beautiful place, I would still be there. Most of the clients are awesome. You sure feel good about yourself when someone is willing to pay an absurd amount of money to ski with you, and they tip you on top of that.
