Times are tough right now. I dont know of a whole lot of shops hiring, I know of alot of them laying off and or closing there doors. There are ALOT of shops in and around denver. Then I would start looking north around loveland/fort collins, co. There are a few shops in laramie, wyo and the snowies. Thats if you want to stay in CO or around there. Maverick motorsports(skidoo), and TNT motorsports (cat) are the two shops in Laramie

Look for work in a ski town or ski hill. Most are seasonal and you can snowmobile on your days off.

Hey guys,
Cooke city,MT. Island Park,ID. West Yellowstone. Boise,ID. McCall,ID. Stanley,ID. Priest Lake,ID. Superior,MT. Revelstoke,BC. MT Baker,WA. Thats where I would start. It would be hard to get a different job everytime you went to a another city. But it would be a great winter if you can do it. Good luck.
