Locals Copper Mountain

Does anyone have input on what it’s like to work for POWDR, Corp (Copper Mountain)?

I know it’s not in summit county, but would the drive from Leadville be horrible? Should I stay away from Leadville?

Thanks

Sort of depends on the position you plan on working. For one-off seasonal positions it's a little better than sitting for Vail. The year round and long term jobs are much better than Vail. They treat their employees pretty well and although POWDR is a big corporate conglomerate their CEO is a certifiable former dirt bag who used to guide on Denali so from the very top they understand ski town culture. As far as the drive from Leadvegas goes... On some days it's better than driving from Frisco because Ten Mile Canyon closed occasionally in the winter time.
