Maybe but lifties are usually the lowest paid and just clock in out and leave. I showed up to make snow overnight and it was always patrol the last couple trucks in the lot.
Was an operator for five years, they don't drink at resort bars but lifties definitely drink on resort and on the way back home. That being said the awesome bus services most Colorado mountain valleys have sort of takes the parking lot out of the equation, at least for most staff. I mean, why would I drive anywhere if the bus is at most 20 minutes away?
