Volunteer

Winter Park Volunteer Hosts are a very outgoing and enthusiastic team of skiers and snowboarders, who enhance our guests' vacation experience with their extensive knowledge of Winter Park Resort.

Our team has a passion for service – assisting guests with exceptional and enthusiastic service is our primary goal.

Volunteer tasks include greeting and assisting guests, on-mountain tours, lift-line organization, market research, trail map and brochure distribution, guest contact & service and end of day farewell. Strong intermediate ski or snowboard ability is necessary for on-mountain participation. Volunteer hosts are asked to complete two training days (December 5-6, 2009) and a minimum of 10 volunteer days throughout the season. In exchange for their service, volunteer hosts are given a Winter Park season pass.

We have almost finished recruiting for the 09-10 season; group volunteer host interviews took place on October 9 & 10. We are offering just one more opportunity for you to join us this winter. If you would like to be considered for interview, you'll need to complete an application form, available by e-mailing Jodie Harvey at vhost@skiwinterpark.com. Final group interview will take place on Friday November 13, 2009 at 2pm.
