Winter Recreation Site Attendant
About The Position
The Winter Recreation Site Attendant is a front-line role responsible for keeping Lee Canyon’s recreation areas, parking facilities, and public access zones safe, operational, clean, and welcoming. Working in an alpine winter environment, the attendant performs grounds upkeep, snow and ice mitigation, basic equipment care, point-of-sale transactions, and guest service while exercising sound judgment and following safety standards. The role requires continuous outdoor work in sub-freezing temperatures, snowfall, high winds, and changing mountain weather at elevations over 8,500 feet. It involves physical labor on uneven, snow-packed terrain, including lifting and carrying loads up to 75 pounds and remaining on one’s feet for up to 8–10 hours per shift. Skiing or snowboarding is not required for base, parking, or recreation site positions, though basic recreational ability is an asset if assigned to support mountain access zones.

- Ability to think independently, solve everyday problems calmly, and exercise sound judgment in a fast-paced setting.

Nice To Haves
- Prior cash handling, cashiering, or guest service/hospitality experience is preferred but not required.
