A rare experience indeed!

What's your adventure?

Climbing a snow-capped mountain?  Horseback riding in a meadow brimming with wildflowers?  Canoeing on a scenic lake in water so crystal clear that you can practically see the bottom?  Lassen Volcanic National Park offers these adventures and so many more.  

As a member of the Snow Mountain team, you will definitely increase your career marketability as you learn how to interact with visitors from around the world.  You will become proficient in sales and marketing, customer service, culinary, lodging and engaging guests in activities they may never have experienced such as horseback riding, kayaking, and paddle boarding.

Pick your adventure and join the team at Snow Mountain for an extraordinary work experience!  Our season runs mid-May through mid-October annually and we are always looking for good associates.

We like to call it the employee adventure.  You can expect to become part of a team of dedicated employees who continually strive to provide an extraordinary experience to all visitors of the Park. When you play a part in creating great memories for others, you create them for yourself too.  That's part of the adventure!
