The Resources page on MountainJobs.com was created to give job seekers looking for employment within mountain communities a taste of the mountain culture. For those inquiring minds that always want to know, “What do they do there (besides ski)?”, a visit to some of these websites will give you an idea, and show you how the arts/events/festivals in these small towns actually do play a major role.
Two mentions in just over two weeks in the New York Times, and a #5 ranking in Ski Magazines 2007 top eastern ski resorts. Ellicottville, NY … the quaint western New York ski town located 50 miles south of Buffalo is making the news.
