It's great, just accept you are part of bottom-line corporation that is a slave to Wall Street expectations, not yours
Pros
Access to a sport you love in your free time. Outdoors culture, teaching what you love.
Cons
Access to a sport you love in your free time. That's tongue-in-cheek for the reason behind the unlimited access to low-wage employees who do not see the mountain as a career, but a pit stop. This seemingly inelastic supply allows for wages that in real terms (i.e. after inflation) continue to go down while lesson prices increase at double-digit rates. You are a profit center they love with very little power over how much you earn as a portion of that $800 plus lesson. Great for a season or two, not so great for a career. The economic rent you pay for doing something you love is an economic decision you have to make. Accept it, or find something else to do.
