Also, how did you get into it, and what sort of education or certifications (if any) did you need?

And if you were to get into the same niche today, would you? (And in some cases–COULD you, or has the door closed?)

    I work at a ski place, partially with making snow.

    No certs needed, mostly learn on the job type stuff.

    A snowmobile license is very useful but hardly required.

    I think given the choice I’d pick this again.

      Is there a license requires for driving a snowmobile in your country? Is it a government issued licence or an insurance thing? I have driven them, but I think here a normal driver’s license is enough and even that is only needed when driving on streets (which is often not permitted and even more often impractical).

        Yep, license rewired by law. Therefore it also becomes an insurance thing as driving w/o it will count the same as driving a car without one.

      Is that your only job? And is it career viable or just the current plan. Because, man, that sounds badass. Working outdoors and being Jack Frost? Fun.
