VOLUNTEER MOUNTAIN HOST PROGRAM - FOR THE 26/27 SEASON
Are you outgoing and find joy in meeting new people and connecting with others, sharing your enthusiasm, and creating memorable experiences? If you love having FUN while helping people, Mt. Bachelor's Volunteer Mountain Host Program might be perfect for you!
Volunteer Mountain Hosts are a team of personable and professional volunteers managed by our Guest Services department. Ideal candidates are passionate mountain enthusiasts who have either enjoyed the mountain for years or are willing to be engaged in learning and sharing both historical and real time knowledge of our resort and its operations.
HOSPITALITY & INFORMATION
Volunteer Mountain Hosts are often the first people visitors encounter at the resort. You'll provide hospitality and information about tickets and passes (online purchasing and pick-up box), Ski and Ride School, Rentals, Retail, Restaurants, Bus Schedules, and more. Mountain Hosts are among the most knowledgeable individuals on the hill regarding our lift and trail system and facilitate guest interactions with Ski Patrol when needed. All volunteers receive Guest Services training to gain the knowledge needed to enhance the mountain experience.
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
Commitment to the Program:
Volunteer Mountain Hosts commit to 2 training days and 24 duty days during the season: 5 days per month December-March, then 2 days per month April-May (weekends only). Winter holidays, Presidents Day, MLK weekends, and Spring Break are priority volunteer periods. Duty days run 8:00am-4:00pm.
National Ski Patrol Membership:
Volunteer Mountain Hosts must join the National Ski Patrol's "Mountain Host Program" (approximately $106 annual fee) and complete all necessary trainings and certifications.
Skiing/Snowboarding Proficiency and Knowledge:
Volunteer Mountain Hosts must be strong skiers/snowboarders capable of navigating any named intermediate run on the front side in all weather conditions. We also offer limited positions for Volunteer Hospitality Hosts who don't require on-snow presence. Their main function is visiting with guests, providing hospitality, and collecting emails for after-visit surveys. Hospitality Hosts must be knowledgeable about the resort and Central Oregon and able to ski/ride any intermediate front-side run, but advanced skills are not required. Email collection takes place in base areas or lodges.
Community Connection: :
Volunteer Mountain Hosts love sharing their knowledge of the region beyond the slopes. From recommending your favorite trail run to suggesting the best coffee shop in town, you'll delight guests by sharing local favorites that make their Central Oregon visit truly memorable.
THE TYPICAL DAY
Duty stations include base area, welcome and wayfinding, ticket and pass processing, Mountain Concierge Desk, on-mountain trail maps, tops of chairlifts, and on-ski runs. Each Volunteer Mountain Host is assigned daily duties with a lunch break, generally including at least a half-day on-hill.
VOLUNTEER BENEFITS
Accepted volunteers receive a complimentary Volunteer Winter Season Pass, uniform, shared locker access, Mt. Bachelor Shuttle season pass, meal discounts, and free soft drinks and hot drinks on duty days. Enjoy an active, fun, scenic volunteer environment and the opportunity to meet like-minded teammates! * Volunteer passes DO NOT include all the benefits associated with a paid season pass or an employee season pass.
