Find Your Season
On The Slopes

Pay varies by role and country but most seasonal ski resort jobs range from entry-level minimum wage up to experienced-instructor rates. Many positions include accommodation, a ski or lift pass, and meals as additional perks, which significantly reduces your cost of living for the season. Each listing on Mountain Connects shows the pay range, currency, and what perks are included up front.

Northern Hemisphere resorts (North America, Europe, Japan) typically start hiring in July–September for the December–April season. Southern Hemisphere resorts (Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina) hire from February–April for the June–October season. Applying early gives you the best shot at staff accommodation and first-choice roles.

In most cases, yes. If you're not a citizen or permanent resident of the country you want to work in, you'll usually need a working holiday visa or equivalent work permit. Requirements, age limits, and application timelines differ by country — Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and several European countries run generous WHV schemes for eligible applicants. Some resorts also offer visa sponsorship for specialist roles.

Common roles include ski and snowboard instruction, lift operations, hospitality (front desk, housekeeping, reservations), food and beverage (chefs, bartenders, servers), retail, rental shop technicians, ski patrol, childcare, and resort operations. Mountain Connects lists roles across all of these categories, so you can filter by what matches your skills.

Many seasonal roles include staff accommodation, and most of the rest point you toward subsidised or partnered housing in nearby mountain towns. Look for listings with the Accommodation perk flagged — these include on-mountain staff housing, shared apartments, or rent stipends. Housing availability is tight in most ski towns, so securing a job with housing included is one of the biggest advantages.
