"I love working at Ski.com because I've had the same coworkers for 20 years now. Every time we get together to tour a ski resort or visit new lodging, it is like I'm with a bunch of my college buddies. We are lucky to work a job where we get to travel and sample different resorts, and I'm happy to say I have visited over 30 ski resorts during my time here."
