2022-2023 Season Mountain Host: If you have limited or no skiing or snowboarding skills, you may wish to apply to our Mountain Host program. If you are an expert skier or rider, you can also be a Mountain Host! Mountain Hosts assist Ski Patrol, Ski Area Management, and the public. The Mountain Host program will include youth and adults. The Mountain Host program can be a stepping stone for joining Ski Patrol, if you have the ski/ride skills and are able to complete the medical training required.

The free lift ticket is not transferrable. Hosts who volunteer during the 2022-2023 season will qualify for a free season pass for the following season, and potential season pass for qualifying family members.
