I’m super close to monetization and already have the watch hours — just need that final push to 1,000 subs.

My channel is mainly live DJ sets (UK garage / bass / club footage from Florida gigs) + travel vlogs and behind-the-scenes content from the journey.

If you sub, drop your channel below and I’ll return the support ASAP.

Would really appreciate anyone checking out the content and sticking around if it’s your vibe 🔥 Let’s help each other grow.

Looking for advice on ski resort towns (lift maintenance + music/nightlife scene)

Hey everyone — my partner and I are planning our next ski town move and would love input from people who’ve worked/lived at different resorts.

A little background: we both have several seasons of mountain ops experience (lift ops, lift maintenance, trail work, general resort operations) at larger western resorts. We’ve loved the mountain lifestyle and career growth, but we’re hoping to find a better overall balance this time around.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong lift ops / lift maintenance departments with room to grow
  • Good work culture in mountain ops (how are mechanics/lift ops treated?)
  • Realistic cost of living or decent employee housing
  • Minimal commute (don’t want to live an hour away just to afford rent)
  • A real town/community, not super isolated
  • Legit nightlife / social scene
  • Ideally some kind of electronic music scene (house, UKG, bass, local DJs, venues, etc.)

I’m also involved in DJing, so being somewhere with actual opportunities to play or even just be around a good electronic scene would be huge.

We’re mainly looking at western ski towns (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, etc.) and trying to find somewhere that balances mountain career growth with actual quality of life outside work.

A few questions:

  • Which resorts treat lift ops / mechanics well and have solid department culture?
  • What’s cost of living actually like vs pay? Is employee housing realistic?
  • How bad are commutes for employees?
  • Which ski towns actually have legit nightlife/social life?
  • Any places with a real electronic music / DJ scene?
  • What resorts feel like the best long-term lifestyle balance for people building careers in mountain ops?

Would really appreciate honest feedback from anyone who’s spent multiple seasons in the industry.
