Weekend Radio Jobs in Reno, NV (NOW HIRING)

Description
Sugar Bowl Resort is seeking a confident, organized, and guest-obsessed Snowsports School Supervisor to help lead daily operations at one of California's most beloved independent ski resorts. This is a dynamic, on-the-ground leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced alpine environment, leads by example, and finds genuine satisfaction in creating seamless experiences for both guests and staff.
You'll be the operational backbone of the Snowsports School: coordinating schedules, directing guest flow, overseeing lesson placement, and ensuring that every guest from first-timers to seasoned shredders gets exactly where they need to be, safely and on time. When things don't go as planned (because mountains have a way of doing that), you stay calm, think on your feet, and turn challenges into moments that guests remember for the right reasons.
Why Sugar Bowl?
Sugar Bowl Resort has been proudly independent for over 80 years and is one of the oldest ski resorts in California. Situated atop beautiful Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl has a storied past with ties to Austrian ski culture, Hollywood and Walt Disney. This special community helped bring skiing to "sunny California" since December 1939. Since then, it continues to attract adventurous winter sports enthusiasts alike.
Who you are
You're a seasoned resort professional with leadership experience and a deep understanding of how a Snowsports School operates from the inside. You lead with clarity and warmth, communicate effectively in high-pressure moments, and bring a resort-wide perspective to every decision you make. You know how to read a lineup, manage a schedule, handle a frustrated guest, and still have energy left to support your team at the end of the day.
You're comfortable on snow, comfortable on a radio, and comfortable in charge.
