"When the pandemic hit, a large number of visas were taken off the table, leading to MD and Kruisman looking for a larger number of younger workers to fill the shoes. Unfortunately, they were not as skilled as the visa workers, which led to high turnover.
“We hired quite a few college students, out of the 60 we hired 55 were utter disappointments,” said Kruisman. “Some didn’t even last a day.”
“A lot of the young people just don’t want to come to work,” he added."
That's awesome.

Lumber down limit again. Well below the September 2020 high.

But where do they sleep?
Here, this just popped up on Facebook for Summit County:
Apartment for rent, two bedroom, one bath. $2595 a month.
We have an apartment available on the lower level of our house in Dillon. Amazing location!
Beautiful views of Lake Dillon and Buffalo Mountain. parking space provided on driveway Hike from our backyard, bike across the street and kayak entrance points just minutes away!
We provide a storage shed and outdoor patio, at least one parking space …
Requirements:
Credit score of 680 minimum
Salary 3x rent
No dogs
No smoking
Stainless appliances, granite countertops, newly tiled shower. [Of course!]
So, yeah, somebody expects somebody making 3x2595 a month to rent this place. That's nearly a hundred grand a year. And, with pretty damn good credit, too. What the fuck. You have to think, are the kids "owning" this house, who obviously expect some pretty well off tenant to come along and pay for their overpriced mortgage, that naive? I mean, I understand that rent for seasonal short term, but, permanent annual rent?

Skiing is not that expensive if you live near it and get season passes. We are 25 minutes from a hill with 2600' vert and passes for the whole family = $1500. In an average year we spend approximately $300 on lodging and about the same for lift tickets during one weekend. Otherwise we are skiing at home. I'll also usually spend another $120 on two days at other areas that are easy day trips.
That said, we probably couldn't afford a house here at this point if we didn't already have one.

Why does everyone consider foreign workers "poor and desperate"? What the fuck? Maybe the Aussies just want to ski during their summer?
You're showing your white privilege biases with that one, and that's why a lot of these people are treated so poorly. You think they are "poor and desperate" losers. Maybe that's why the white kids suck at the job. It's only for losers. They're better than that.

On the one hand, this is not a new thing. Twenty years ago in college I worked on a landscaping crew for a few summers. Not mowing lawns and trimming hedges, most jobs were full new landscape installs jackhammering waterline trenches into clay, hauling wheelbarrows full of gravel all day, etc. On the first day the boss told me and the other college kid he had hired "Good luck, the white boys usually don't last a week." Maybe he was just fucking with us by trying to light a fire under our asses, but I doubt it, he didn't seem like the type.
On the other hand, the part Benny didn't quote was where the guy said his crews were clocking back in after dinner and working until god knows when. At the aforementioned landscaping job we worked 7:00-3:30 and called it a day. I'm pretty sure that even the Latino lifers on his crew would have quit if they were expected to put in 16-hours days.

Workforce will probably live in a garage with 12 people renting out . Each paying about $200-$250 per month. No heat, Coleman stove. Frozen Porta Potty out back. The upper middle class will be forced to make choices. Do they keep the sports car or fund the kids college. Or do they just say, " screw it kids, you're on your own", and the parents go skiing.

Just like when I walked off a tree planting job after 2 days. Fuck that! I took my white male privilege and Got TFO. Probably had a net worth of $100 at the time.
I wasn't desperate enough to continue although no better option was available immediately. I soon found an actual paying job that didn't require 10 hrs a day in a pouring rain of pounding a hoedad into the rocks around Flathead Lake MT, sleeping in a tent, and eating out of a cooler. The remainder of the crew were illegals that were desperate.

tree planting or firefighting is the time honored way to make > the minimum wage money up here, both are pretty tough gigs the crews I see come into the craft brew are not illegals, often uni students, some planters have been doing in for a long time & consider it a career of sorts

I did the tree planting thing for 2 summers in the 70s, but that was when tuition and rent were possible to pay with those jobs. No illegals in our crummies, but lots of derelicts.
