If you are looking for a job at a Lake Tahoe ski resort for the 2015-16 season, the Best of Tahoe resorts – Heavenly Mountain, Northstar California and Kirkwood Mountain – are accepting applications in addition to hosting job fairs on-site at each of the three mountains.
The three Lake Tahoe-area resorts are looking for passionate, ambitious employees to fill a variety of full-time and part-time positions in various departments, including food and beverage, mountain operations, retail, rentals, ticket and pass sales, and more.
New this season, Vail Resorts (which owns the three Tahoe resorts) will also hire 16-17 year-olds for jobs as cashiers, Ski and Snowboard School teachers’ assistants, guest services representatives, parking attendants, cleaning attendants, ticket sales, scanning and more.
Best of Tahoe Resort Job Fair Schedules
- Northstar California: November 6, 4-7 p.m. in The Village at Northstar.
- Heavenly, Kirkwood Mountain: November 7, 1-4 p.m. in the California Main Lodge.
Northstar California is arguable the most family-friendly resort in Lake Tahoe.
“The Best of Tahoe resorts offer very diverse environments for their employees” said Beth Howard, vice president and general manager of Northstar California Resort. “Whether new hires are looking to work in a high-energy, fast-paced environment like Heavenly, a luxurious and family-friendly resort like Northstar, or a true-blue, big-mountain, high base-elevation and backcountry ski experience like Kirkwood, there is something for everyone.”
Vail Resorts has recently moved to increase the minimum wage to $10 per hour across all resorts. Even during the past few years with below average natural snowfall, the Best of Tahoe resorts have historically remained open for the entirety of the ski season, without having to cut full-time employee hours.
Reliability of work hours is offered thanks to Heavenly and Northstar’s combined snowmaking systems – the most sophisticated of any across the west coast – as well as Kirkwood’s natural snow depths. Between both manmade and natural snowfall the Best of Tahoe resorts typically open on time and remain open, offering some of the best snow surfaces around Lake Tahoe from pre-Christmas skiing to spring corn skiing in April.
Benefits of working at the Best of Tahoe resorts can include a season pass valid at multiple Vail Resorts mountains, free or discounted dependent passes, discounts on food, beverage and retail items at the resorts, complimentary and/or discounted lift tickets for friends and family, full benefits for full-time employees, 401K matching, lodging discounts at other Vail Resorts properties, access to ski and snowboard lessons, complimentary local area bus passes, a reliable and wide-spread bus transportation system available to employees around the lake and more.
