Room and Board:
Room and board is provided to all Mountain Sky staff members.

Mountain Sky provides linens, comforters, pillows, and towels for staff members. There is sufficient storage space on the ranch for personal belongings. There are two staff lodges on ranch which provide ample space for indoor recreation, along with a place to do laundry. Staff members are allowed to respectfully use all ranch facilities including our workout room, sauna, swimming pool, Jacuzzi and golf course.
Staff meals are provided 3 times per day in our staff dining room. Our hearty staff buffets are very comparable to what our guests receive. Breakfasts are an assortment of eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, fruit, oatmeal, cold cereals, juices, and a specialty item like breakfast burritos, fruit pancakes, or French toast. The lunch and dinner buffet is always well balanced with choices of fruits, vegetables, salads, side dishes, and a main dish. A refrigerator is kept fully stocked with food in the dining area for snacks or missed meals, and the coffee pots are kept full around the clock.
Perks:
Not only do employees have access to the full facility, but they are also encouraged to participate in guest activities – so long as there is availability. Horseback rides, guided hikes, fly-fishing instruction, golf and whitewater rafting trips are just a few of the activities you’ll have the opportunity to experience.
A competitive seasonal salary (starting at $1,500/mo), free room and board, a beautiful mountain environment, access to Yellowstone National Park, use of our world-class facilities and activities, and the opportunity to mingle with our amazing guests and staff from all over the world… who could ask for anything more?
