One of the happiest guys I ever met had quit his job as a big city meteorologist and headed for Vail, Colorado to work as a bartender at one of the nation's hottest ski resorts. He skied his buns off and made money at the same time.

By the way, in the interview it's best to talk about your love of the industry rather than how much time you want to spend on the snow. They'll figure that out themselves.
