JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) _ Officials with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
say fewer employees will be hired for this year's ski season.

At the resort's annual Winter Job Fair in the Bridger Center
this weekend, 215 jobs will be available, compared to the 300
openings last year.

Resort Human Resources Manager Amy Widener says the drop is driven by the economy and increasing number of
returning employees. Widener says the resort has also decided to
turn some part-time jobs into fewer full-time positions.

Overall, the resort is expected to employ 1,300 people this
winter, compared to 1,500 last winter.
