HOST
Winter Park Volunteer Hosts are a very outgoing and enthusiastic team of skiers and snowboarders, who enhance our guests' vacation experience with their extensive knowledge of Winter Park Resort.
Our team has a passion for service – assisting guests with exceptional and enthusiastic service is our primary goal.
Volunteer tasks include greeting and assisting guests, on-mountain tours, lift-line organization, market research, trail map and brochure distribution, guest contact & service and end of day farewell. Strong intermediate ski or snowboard ability is necessary for on-mountain participation. Volunteer hosts are asked to complete 2 training days (Saturday and Sunday, December 3-4, 2011) and a minimum of 10 volunteer days throughout the season. In exchange for their service, volunteer hosts are given a Winter Park season pass.
We have completed our new host recruitment for the 11/12 winter season. If you are interested in joining our team for the 2012/13 season, e-mail us at vhost@winterparkresort.com to plan a visit this winter. Join us for a day to learn more about our fun and friendly team!
Thanks for your interest!
