    Ski resorts are always a ood place to start, even in the summer. There are always jobs and good laid back locals. I lived in Vail for 5 years year round and loved it, the motto is "you come for the winters but stay for the summers."

    we definately want to be around the music scene, but really it doesn't matter as long as we have jobs and a place to stay...i thought about resorts but are they in decent enough sized towns that we can meet people and see shows? is it even possible for us to get one considering were from louisiana?

    OK, why would you not be able to get a gig because you are southern? half the freeaking state is Texans (see my joke in Roll call CO)
    kitchen skills are your easiest, best bet.
