Job description

Woodward Tahoe (Boreal and Soda Springs), located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain range, is a year-round world-class action sports facility with a culture that comes straight from our main product: Fun. If this sounds like the kind of place you'd like to work, progress, and play, we'd love to hear from you!

The Snowsports Instructor raises the next generation of alpine downhill enthusiasts. No matter a guest's skill level, discipline, or age, someone from this team is ready to clip or strap in and share their insight.

This role is all about inspiring others through skiing or snowboarding, creating meaningful experiences, and helping guests connect with the culture and community of the mountain. Instructors focus on safety, skill-building, and delivering top-notch service. While most instructors are assigned to either adult or children's lessons based on their strengths and needs, flexibility is key. You'll be helping out with guests of all levels and abilities, supporting the team wherever needed.

This is primarily a Part time, Holiday or On-Call Seasonal position with awesome perks and benefits.

Perks:

  • Starting pay: $21/hour

  • Health insurance options for ALL employees

  • Free season pass to Boreal, Soda Springs, and all POWDR resorts

  • Full access to the Bunker-Woodward Tahoe's indoor training facility with trampolines, foam pits, skateparks, and more

  • Discounts on food, retail, and gear

  • Discounts for friends and family

  • Work in a fun, supportive, mountain-town environment

  • Career advancement opportunities across the Woodward and POWDR network

Responsibilities:

  • Provide exceptional guest service at all times

  • Teach group and/or private lessons to various age groups and skill levels

  • Support the team with operational tasks off the hill

  • Act as a resort ambassador promoting safety and positivity

  • Help maintain and set up on-hill infrastructure including signage, fencing, and equipment

  • Operate magic carpets following safety guidelines and training

  • Educate guests on resort offerings and programming

  • Follow instructions and carry out daily responsibilities

  • Keep Snowsports facilities clean and guest-ready

What We're Looking For:

  • A guest service mindset with an outgoing, friendly attitude

  • Excellent communication skills

  • Strong understanding of safe practices and ethical behavior

  • Team players who bring positivity to group dynamics

  • Ability to stay calm, composed, and professional under pressure

  • Physically able to ski/snowboard in all weather for extended periods

  • Able to lift 50 lbs and meet physical demands of the role

  • Able to pass a background check

  • Availability on weekends and holidays is required

You make us Woodward. We are a welcoming community that celebrates individual stories, backgrounds, experiences, and identities where we all have "different" in common. We believe in the strength of representing all voices and having space for everyone. We believe in pushing boundaries and bringing our authentic selves to work while embracing uniqueness, creativity, and different points of view. Even if you don't think you meet all the qualifications listed for a job, we'd love to hear from you.
