We are looking for energetic and outgoing seasonal employees to join our Idaho Falls team as Ski Tech Associates. At Al’s Sporting Goods, we’re dedicated to keeping our customers safe and equipped for the mountain, and our Ski Service Technicians play an essential role in ensuring skis, snowboards, and related equipment are perfectly tuned, tested, and ready for winter adventure. Your expertise and attention to detail will help our guests have an amazing experience on the slopes, while maintaining the highest safety standards.

As a Ski Tech, you will evaluate customer equipment to recommend the right services and products, as well as tune, wax, sharpen, and repair both customer and rental skis and snowboards. You’ll also mount, adjust, and test ski bindings in compliance with current manufacturer indemnification standards, complete proper documentation on all repair agreement forms, and check safety equipment daily for proper function. In addition, you’ll report existing or potential hazards, maintain an accurate inventory of tools, parts, and supplies, and ensure a clean and organized workspace.

This is a seasonal position running from October 2025 through April 2026, with the opportunity for permanent roles as they become available—we look first to our seasonal employees when filling those positions, making this a great way to get your foot in the door.
