Status: Seasonal (Full-Time and Part-Time positions available)
The Best Job on the Mountain - if you'd rather spend your winter skiing than standing behind a counter, this is your opportunity.

Why Sugar Bowl?
Sugar Bowl Resort has been proudly independent for over 80 years and is one of the oldest ski resorts in California.
