About The Tsaina Lodge - Valdez Heli-Ski Guides

The Tsaina Lodge and Rendezvous Lodge are premier Heli-ski destinations nestled in the breathtaking Chugach Mountains of Alaska. Our Lodges offer unparalleled Guest accommodations along with world-class heli-skiing through our company Valdez Heli Ski Guides. We pride ourselves in providing exceptional service to all of our Guests from near and far for an unforgettable experience in a beautiful setting. 

SORRY, NO H2B VISAS

The Employee Experience

At the Tsaina Lodge and Rendezvous Lodge we pride ourselves on providing excellent service to our customers while making it a place where the Employees can relax and be themselves, a home base for the exploration of the surrounding mountains and streams. The Chugach National Forest and the surrounding areas offer many opportunities for skiing, hiking, fishing, rock or ice climbing and photography just to name a few. 

Our employees stay free of charge in communal yurts situated on-site at both Lodges and have access to lodge and yurt amenities with limited restrictions. We have an employee meal program for $70 per week. This includes items for breakfast, lunch and snacks with a hot buffet style dinner every day.  Due to our very remote location, we are not able to cater to any special dietary needs other than a vegetarian diet. However, we do allow our staff to purchase their own food in town and store it in the communal yurts. 

On both sites we have a gym, a bar, a restaurant, employee showers and toilets, laundry, internet access, board games, and a community yurt with a TV and small kitchen appliances.

 

Ideal Candidate

We are seeking enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join our seasonal team within various hospitality related positions. As a member of the team, you will live on site and play a crucial role in curating a memorable experience for all of our Guests. We strive to provide a positive and fun work environment and seek adventurous individuals with a love for the outdoors, strong work ethic and the ability to uphold the high standards of excellence our clients have become accustomed to. 

Room and Board

Our Lodge Staff are housed free of charge in yurts on site in our Employee Villages.  Accommodations are warm and comfortable, but rustic. This is communal living environment, and the yurts are divided into 6 private slices. They are fully furnished with twin beds, bedside drawers, lamps, and outlets. Each employee will receive a bag with bedding and pillows upon arrival. The shower and restroom facilities are located in separate buildings just steps away from the Employee Villages.

We need to repeat that due to our very remote locations, we are not able to cater to any special diets besides vegetarians. However, we do allow our staff to purchase their own food in town and use the storage in the community yurts.  

Employee Perks

Come live in a picturesque postcard setting and have a gypsy vacation by becoming a member of the Tsaina Lodge or Rendezvous Lodge Team!!  Howl at the northern lights, visit glaciers, engage in outdoor activities such as snow shoeing, skiing, snowboarding and even get the opportunity to experience the thrill of a lifetime by taking a Heli ride among some of the grandest peaks in the world!

Our employees' mental health is extremely important to the success of our business, and we strive to keep everyone here happy and healthy.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Our Lodges are located within 45 miles of Valdez on one of Alaska's Scenic Byways, the Richardson Highway. Successful applicants will need to find transportation either to Valdez (flights from anchorage can be arranged through Ravn Airlines) to be picked up by us or they can organize a ride share or taxi for the 4-5 hour drive from Anchorage. 

With the Tsaina Lodge and Rendezvous Lodge being located several miles outside of Valdez please note that while travel accommodations to and from the lodge (from Valdez) will be provided upon arrival/departure, opportunities to leave the lodge and make trips to town are limited due to the remote location.  However, if you have your own vehicle this will not be an issue.

For Fun

See the Northern lights, visit glaciers, engage in numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, snow shoeing, skiing and snowboarding.  It is recommended that you bring your own equipment, so you don't miss out!

Enjoy the comradery of the great Team you will be a part of!
