Instead of despairing over the loss of her job, Beatty viewed it as a chance to realize a childhood dream of living and working in the wilderness.
Quitting the 9-to-5 grind for 'something simpler'Beatty started looking for seasonal jobs in October 2022 on Vail Resorts' careers website at the recommendation of a friend.
Olsen, who is also a freelance photographer, landed a job as a ski instructor at the same resort.
Paying $88 per month to live in YosemiteAt the end of March, she and Olsen moved into a small, one-bedroom cabin in the park, which costs them $88 per month, each.
Sharing those intimate spaces with her co-workers was "a bit of a shock at first," Beatty says, and has been the most challenging adjustment to seasonal work.
