• Use point-of-sale systems to process transactions and manage inventory - demanding mental focus and multitasking.
• Set up and maintain outdoor facilities, including fencing, signage, and teaching aids - tasks that require physical strength, coordination, and resilience in extreme weather.
• Operate beginner lifts and drive shuttles when needed, requiring alertness, safety awareness, and calm under pressure.
• Deliver consistent, friendly customer service to guests of all ages, often during high-volume, high-stress periods.

• Proficiency with computers and software including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and point-of-sale systems.
• Experience with RTP or similar rental systems is a plus.
• Previous experience in a ski/snowboard rental shop is desirable.
• Comfortable using hand tools and power tools (e.g., drills, augers).
• Ability to prioritize tasks, stay organized, and perform under pressure.
• Must pass a technical certification for ski binding fitting.
• Willingness to work outdoors in cold, snowy, and variable conditions, often early in the morning.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and perform repetitive physical tasks such as shoveling, bending, and carrying.
• Must be able to travel up the canyon during the early hours and stay overnight at the resort if needed.
• Must comply with uniform and scheduling requirements, including weekends and holidays.

 WORK SCHEDULE

• 5-day work week, including weekends and holidays.
• Typical shift: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
• Season runs from Mid-November to Mid-April
• Part-time positions may be available.

PHYSICAL & MENTAL WORKING CONDITIONS

• Work is split between indoor retail environments and outdoor mountain conditions.
• Requires standing for long periods, frequent lifting, and working in cold, wet, and windy weather.
• Frequent interruptions and shifting priorities require mental flexibility, emotional regulation, and task-switching ability.
• High guest volume and time-sensitive tasks can create stressful situations - you’ll need to stay calm, focused, and solution-oriented.
