Resort Conditions:

Working at a Winter Resort means no two days are the same—and that's part of the adventure! You’ll get to experience a variety of unique locations, from cozy lodges to scenic mountain-top venues only accessible by chairlift. Be prepared to embrace the elements; whether it's bluebird skies, fresh snowfall, or the infamous coastal rain. Expect to navigate multi-level lodges, steep stairways, and outdoor areas where the terrain can be sloped, snowy, or slippery, so good footwear is essential, indoors and out. Walking through large, icy parking lots is also part of the daily journey. If you love fresh air, stunning views, and a workplace that keeps you on your toes, this is the spot for you!

Responsibilities:

The Instructor Apprentice is expected to adhere to the policies of Mount Washington Alpine Resort and Snow School. You will always work under the supervision of a certified ski instructor. You are expected to follow instructions and do your best at all times, if you have questions, concerns or criticisms, please speak with the Programs Coordinator or the Snow School Supervisors. The Snow School Manager’s office is ALWAYS open if you have any concerns.
