Trail and Vegetation Maintenance Laborer

Marble Mountain Resort

Steady Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador

Employment Type: Temporary full-time

About Marble Mountain Resort:

There’s a place on Newfoundland’s west coast where a mountain leans over a river, where winter has always brought people together, and where generations have carved their memories into the snow. That place is Marble Mountain Resort. We are Atlantic Canada’s largest alpine ski area, with 43 trails, a 536-metre vertical drop, and an average of about five meters of natural snowfall each winter. From a humble rope tow in 1961 to an iconic four-season destination, Marble Mountain’s story has always been written by the people who ski, ride, work, and celebrate here.

Today, with fresh ideas, new energy, and a renewed focus on community, the mountain’s next chapters are taking shape. Whether you’re here for the snow, the chairlift chats, or the moments spent cozied up inside the lodge listening to acoustic tunes with old friends - there’s a place for you on this mountain.

So, what chapter will you help us write next?
