    Snow School Returning Staff Availability Form

    2024-2025

  • Hi, We Want You Back!

    I am excited to welcome you back to Snow Valley for another season of great family fun and look forward to seeing you soon! I hope you enjoyed a great summer and are now dreaming of a snowy winter!  

    The launch of all our Snow School programs this fall had many classes sold out in less than 2 hours of release. I truly believe our popularity is directly related to the fact that we are the World’s Best Snow School made up of incredible staff – Kudos to you, thank you! Let's do it again this season!

    If you are interested in a Team Leader position this season please email pamela_disera@skisnowvalley.com. 

    If you have any awesome friends or family that would be strong additions to our team, please direct them to our online application at skisnowvalley.com/about/jobs . Postings will be up late September.

    Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming season.

    • As a returning staff you understand the importance of the commitment to your shifts.  Please remember to not make plans on days you have commited to because...
