Volunteer

Winter Park Volunteer Resort Hosts are an enthusiastic team of guest-oriented skiers and snowboarders, who work hard to enhance everyone's experience at Winter Park Resort. They are outgoing and friendly, with an excellent knowledge of Winter Park Resort. The team has a passion for guest service - assisting guests with exceptional service is our primary goal.

Daily duties include greeting and assisting guests, on-mountain tours, lift-line organization, market research, trail map and brochure distribution, continual guest contact, service and farewell. Strong intermediate ski or snowboard ability is required for on-mountain duties. Non-skiing applicants are also encouraged to apply for morning-only base area duty.
