Lift mechanics pay

greasemonk's Photo greasemonk 01 Jan 2009

Just wondering if anyone would like to discuss what type money you make as a lift tech. I'm curious if I'm making close to the same here in MN. Lift tech for 8 years making 17.99....

I added this poll because openly stating what you get paid might upset the higher ups. But an open poll is harmless enough.

I posted a poll about pay rate so that people can "vote" their pay rate without actually stating it.

I PM'd him as I am not anonymous in my location or identity. But what the hell; I would very much like to see a sampling of pay from different regions, resorts and positions.

Here is some info from my place:
Entry level mech, little to no related exp: $9-10 start
Solid related exp or after a few years exp here: $10-14
Extensive LM exp: never had such applicant: :w00t:
I have 3 guys in the $18-22 range: 8yr mech/electrician, 30 yr welder/ironworker, and 20 yr vehicle mech.
Me: mtn ops manager, 14 yr mech, 8yr vm, mediocre electrician, mediocre cat/equipment operator, and all the rest that goes with it: 50k annual

There was two; I just merged them and the poll disappeared... sorry!! I think you can re-create the poll in this topic though.

Sorry, LiftTech. That wasn't the response I was looking for!
And I neglected to see that there were actually responses to the poll - my bad.

Shouldn't you recreate it since you botched it?!?!? I always try to fix the things I break.

Looks like there's quite the range of salaries in this industry.
