Reading these numbers honestly
Wages alone don't tell you what a season is worth. 72% of current listings include staff accommodation — in towns where a room can cost more than half a wage, that perk is frequently worth more than a higher headline number. Lift passes, meals, and gear hire compound the same way; every listing on the job board shows exactly which perks are included so you can compare full packages. For how to weigh an offer (and everything else about landing one), see the guides.
FAQ
Across the 38 current listings on szn tracker that disclose pay, the median is roughly $2,536 per month (USD equivalent, before perks). 72% of all current listings include staff accommodation, which changes the real value of a wage substantially in resort towns.
19% of current listings don't state a wage publicly — common for instructor roles (often paid per lesson-hour) and larger resorts that share pay bands only during hiring. The figures on this page use only listings that disclose pay.
Swiss and North American headline wages are typically the highest in nominal terms, but resort-town living costs are also the highest there. A lower European wage with accommodation, meals and a lift pass included frequently nets out better — compare packages, not just numbers.
