Currently recruiting for the season from April 13th, 2026 to November 25th, 2026.
Founded in 1936, Sun Valley Resort is America’s oldest ski destination and the West's No. 3 Ski Resort. However, Sun Valley has more than skiing, flaunting three golf courses, two ice rinks, a movie theater, a bowling alley, and 14 world-class restaurants. Sun Valley's Bald Mountain also boasts over 3,100 vertical feet of trails.
Sun Valley is nestled in the Wood River Valley which is located in the mountainous heart of central Idaho. It is a 26-mile-long valley with access to 5 different mountain ranges. With 4 towns located throughout the valley and approximately 12,000 year-round residents you get the serenity of the mountains without feeling isolated.
Voted the top ski resort for three years in a row (2021, 2022, 2023), Sun Valley is located in the western United States and is the premier year-round resort with two high seasons, summer and winter. The resort and its employees are highly regarded for consistently providing excellent service, high guest courtesy, and attention to quality and fine details. Sun Valley’s reputation as a world-class operation comes from its commitment to quality. Professional employees deliver first-class accommodations, cuisine, comfort, personal service, and courtesy to guests and visitors.
While the resort is fully operational year-round, we have two peak seasons. Our summer season typically begins early to mid-June. It runs through the beginning of October, while our winter season kicks off at the end of November and continues through the beginning of April. So, regardless of whether you are just looking for a seasonal job or you are looking for a place to put down roots, we have opportunities for you!
Since 1936, Sun Valley has captured the imaginations and spurred the adventures of employees and guests alike. Be careful because many come for a season but stay for a lifetime!
