Anybody work at Yellowstone Club and get to ski that Shit????
I moved to Bozeman and am trying to get a job up at Yellowstone Club. I was wondering if anybody has worked there, therefore been able to ski there (that is the 2 days employees are allowed to ski there per month.)

I worked there this summer, pretty great place to work. They have one or two employee ski days every month and there is a ski pass reimbursement program, they will reimburse 100 percent of the cost of a BS pass in the spring. I know the head of lift ops and could get you some contact info there, not sure what kind of job you want though.

Pay and tips are both good, free food, and a good supply of free uniforms come with the gig.

do they still have the prohibitive drug testing?

If they drug tested I would know nothing about the place,
the only position that requires a test, to my knowledge, is valet.

I have been there a few times as a guest of Scot Schmidt (resident ski pro)
That place kicks ass and everyone there is really nice. Here is some of the terrain and "amenities"

I patrolled there for part of a season (2002).
The terrain is decent off the ridge but not really that long. Poor aspect in the spring means the first warm up and then cool off and you are skiing on broken glass for the time until that layer gets buried (sometimes that doesn't happen).
Excellent groomers off the frontside, amazing tree skiing between those runs. Great tree skiing off the back side but kinda flat.
Depending on what you do there, there are worse places to work.

Looks like a lame mountain when compared to Big Sky.
I've skied big sky, but I imagine I will never be "allowed" to ski YC.
FWIW, "trickle down economics", if it exists, should exist there if at any place. Let us other peons know, if you please.
edit: and their pdf trail map is fucking pixelated. WTF

I have skied there in the past. Bunion's summary of the terrain is pretty accurate.

I think it's a lot more than that. $5m is the minimum buy in or something like that.

No one I know of who works there does it for the skiing. They do it for the pay and benefits. I don't work there because I like being an employee, not a servant. my $.02
I think the potato gun proved the stability.

Which Scot Schmidt are we talking about? There's the pro dude, and then there's the avalanche center dude. Unless the pro dude is a lot older than I thought and he IS the GNFAC dude.
If you work at YC they buy you a BS pass, and you get a 2hr ski break on the private hill, which you can probably use to ski down to Big Sky, and maybe even squeeze in a few tram laps. (They're basically connected. I think there's a way to ski back and forth. Or perhaps it's too flat. Skin half a mile then)

There is a Y/C lift on the Middle Road. So if you do anything that brings you down to the Shedhorn area (Liberty Bowl, Marx, Lenin, etc..) you can get to the Yellowstone Club via that lift. Middle Road is the one that comes down from the Shedhorn Yurt. You can also get to that same Y/C lift from the Swiftcurrent lift via Chuck's Run.
