career as a ski lift operator

hello,

my son who is a pretty good skier want to go Colorado mountain college
for 2 years to study Ski Area operations. I know nothing about the
field and wonder what is a job situation. I found very few requests on
line, with very minimal salary, seasonal shifts and it seems to me more
like a winter job for someone in school versa full time career.
your help will be hightly appreciated.
