Just west of Denver, Loveland boasts 1,800 acres of remarkable terrain, FREE snowcat skiing along the Continental Divide, an innovative lesson program, and more snow than any other Front Range or Summit County, CO resort (an average of almost 400 inches of snowfall!) Loveland offers families a fun, friendly, and hassle-free winter escape. We want everyone who comes to Loveland to feel like a guest of our owners. At Loveland, you are not just an employee or a customer, you are part of the family from the moment you pull into the parking lot.
For over 80 years, Loveland has been home for those who simply want to ski or ride. From first-timers to long-timers – there is something for everyone. We have two separate base areas, Loveland Valley which is dedicated to beginners, and Loveland Basin which offers terrain for every level of skier and snowboarder including steeps, trees, cruisers, open bowls, and everything in between.
For our guests - It’s a ski and ride adventure that brings families closer together – creating memories that will never melt away. It’s a spur of the moment ski/snowboard trip with friends, fun, and food without a big drive before or after. It’s a celebration of snow that lasts as long as you want – an hour, a day, or all season long. Our employees are the key to ensuring this experience for our guests.
Our Stats:
As one of the few remaining family-owned ski areas, Loveland provides an authentic, uncluttered and unpretentious experience to both guests and employees. Our owners have owned Loveland for over 60 years; they are involved and know many employees by name.
Our employees say that one of their favorite things about Loveland is the family feel and the life-long friends they have made here. We know it sounds cliché . . . but we really are a family here at Loveland! A family who is loyal, enthusiastic, and passionate about Loveland, each other, our work, and our play.
Loveland is typically one of the first ski areas in the nation to open, offering a season that runs from mid-October through early-May, and making Loveland’s winter employment is one of the longest in the industry.
We are looking for fun, active, snow-sports enthusiasts who are dependable, work well with team members, have a good sense of humor, and who want to be a part of the Loveland Family.
