For many years our team has welcomed employees from all around the world. Employing individuals from a broad range of cultures is a great asset to our community and guests.
All international applicants and empl oyees of the Ski Area should know that participation in the international work program is subject to complex government regulation. Ever-changing legislative regulation makes it challenging for us to guarantee a position for everyone. Unpredictable economic conditions in the United States may require the Ski Area to re-evaluate our need for international staff from season to season.
