Understanding Seasonal Labor Costs

Seasonal labor is the lifeblood of a ski resort, but it's also the largest and most complex expense to manage. Costs go far beyond hourly wages, with employee housing often being a critical—and expensive—component needed to attract and retain talent in remote mountain towns.

This planner helps you see the full picture by combining wage, housing, and other upfront costs into a single, comprehensive forecast. By understanding the true cost per employee and the impact of your housing program, you can make smarter decisions about your budget, recruiting strategy, and retention efforts.
