alas this is true for many resort hotels now including St. Regis Aspen and Hyatt Incline (the latter favors Eastern Europeans). And almost all the ski resorts too. Personally I am not a big fan of the H2B seasonal worker visa as I think there are plenty of adults in the USA that are qualified for these jobs. But employers prefer the imported workers - they are young, nice, and most important cheap and won't complain about the hours and living in a bunkhouse.
