General Manager Brad Wilson said they are looking for people that want to be in the great outdoors.
"We're looking for people that are excited to be up on the mountain take advantage of how close we are to skiing and snowboarding in Nordic and just somebody who either wants to be outside and participate or just wants to be part of a nonprofit mountain recreation area," Wilson said.
Open positions like lift operators, ticket sales associates and ski and snowboard instructors are available.
In addition to employment benefits, staff can enjoy an all-access season pass, free transportation up and down the mountain, and discounts on mountain merchandise.
Wilson said a position they are always looking to fill is instructors.
"You know, we always are looking for more ski instructors. So, if you know how to ski or snowboard, you don't need to be an expert, but we'd love to have you come up and apply, and we'll take you through, you know, the learning process and teach you how to be a teacher, and that's a great way to get better at skiing and snowboarding, and also have really terrific interactions with people that want to learn the sport," said Wilson.
Wilson also mentioned interested candidates can apply for positions online before coming to the interview.
