Sunday River in Maine alone employs 400-500 people during the season, they lay off close to 80% of that.

Thats ONE resort, and not even remotely the scale of west coast mountains.

Lets also add in all the seasonal restaraunt staff, seasonal shop staff, winter guides for various outdoor sports, etc. etc. etc. that are done for the season and not getting into their next jobs (outdoor guides, summer season campers/forestry crews/etc.) for another month or so.

lawn care should be picking up...how many lawns do we have in this country??? wouldn't that off set the ski resort layoffs
Landscraping STARTS out here (hamptons) the end of march and doesn't get going for another MONTH.

But, carry on being dumb, someone has to do it.

Here's an even more difficult concept for you. Seasonal jobs don't hire until they NEED people. I know, shocking.
