Its a tough one: I worked for Mountain Edge for two seasons, and as the second guide, I earnt enough to live in Austria, buy bike gear and pay for my flights. My boss, as the owner, made enough money to live comfortably, although he works as a ski instructor in the winter which I believe brought in more money than the bikes. He set up the company 8 years ago and says that the first two years are the toughest, but he never expects to make any more than a living wage. He wouldn't be in it if he thought any different.
I think the bigger companies are a bit different, what with the economies of scale and all, but for the independent one-chalet businesses you're not going to get rich!
