Become a Mountain Host
We all know and love the Mountain Hosts. You can’t miss them. They are the friendly, smiling people in black ski pants and yellow jackets. You’ll find them standing by one of the lodge entrances or next to the large maps where a lift drops you off. They answer questions, give out useful information on current conditions and help you determine if your skill level is a match for the runs you are contemplating. Mountain Hosts work at Timberline, Ski Bowl and Summit.
Mountain Hosts are part of the MHSP and work closely with Ski Patrol on crowd control as well as assist with skier safety and education. They also take part in Patrol training such as first aid scenarios and chairlift evacuation practice.
In the summer, Hosts work at the Ski bowl adventure Park providing information to guests and assisting during weddings and special occasions.
As a potential first contact for guests, you will have a direct effect on their experience. It is our goal to provide a fun environment where the guest’s concerns are number one. It is the expectation of the host program that each guest is served in an accommodating and professional manner.
