Live and Work in the Heart of Wyoming's Wind River Range!

White Pine Resort

White Pine Ski Resort is a small, hands on crew running a real family ski hill in the foothills of the Wind River Range. This isn't a mega resort where you get lost in the shuffle. Every person on the team matters here, and hard work gets noticed.

White Pine Ski Resort rises above Pinedale, Wyoming, with Wind River Range terrain and none of the crowds of bigger name resorts. At the base, White Pine Adventure Inn serves guests year round, skiers in winter, hikers and anglers the rest of the year. Together they put staff in the heart of the range and a classic Wyoming mountain town.

About White Pine Resort

White Pine Ski Resort and White Pine Adventure Inn are run by a small, hands on team, not a big chain. No cubicles, no scripts, no clocking in just to clock out.

At White Pine Ski Resort, the commute is a chairlift and the crew is small enough that ideas actually matter. At White Pine Adventure Inn, staff are the first Wyoming welcome guests get.

For anyone ready to trade fluorescent lights for mountain air, this is the season to do it.

The Employee Experience

This is a small operation on purpose. That means real training, real relationships with managers, and real trust. Good ideas get heard here, and staff won't get lost in a corporate org chart.

 Hard work and time off are valued equally, because the whole reason people come work seasons in Wyoming is what's outside the door when the shift ends. Skiing at White Pine, fishing the Green River, or watching the sun set over the Wind River Range, this is a place to actually live, not just work.

The best takeaway from a season here isn't just a paycheck. It's the friendships built with a tight knit crew, the confidence that comes from real ownership over the work, and Wyoming stories worth telling for years.

Ideal Candidate

The best employees are self starters who don't need a script to know what needs doing. Because the team is small, everyone pitches in where needed. Flexibility and a good attitude go further here than a long résumé.

 A great fit genuinely likes being outdoors, doesn't mind remote living, and can handle Wyoming's weather swings and small town pace without missing city conveniences. The right candidates show up on time, work hard, and treat guests and coworkers with the same respect they'd want back.

Independent, adaptable candidates looking for a season that actually means something will do well here.

Room and Board

Housing availability depends on the role. Where offered, it's a paid benefit, not free, with cost details covered during the interview process. Housing is not pet friendly. Meals are not provided; Pinedale has grocery access nearby for staff cooking their own food.

 For roles without housing, local rental resources and info on the Pinedale housing market are available during the hiring conversation.

Employee Perks

Team members At White Pine Resort get a free season pass and 6 tickets for friends and family, 50% off of rentals, and merch at White Pine Ski Resort, plus 50% off rooms at White Pine Adventure Inn.

Getting Here and Getting Around

A personal vehicle is strongly recommended for most positions. Properties are spread across rural Wyoming, and public transportation is limited to nonexistent in this part of the state.

 That said, it depends on the role. Winter ski hill employees living in employee housing can get shuttled to and from work, so a vehicle isn't required for that group. Some positions come with onsite housing, making biking or walking to work a realistic option.

Out of state candidates can talk through transportation and housing logistics during the interview process.

For Fun

There's a playground the size of a small country right outside the door.

 Ski or ride White Pine's slopes all winter, then swap skis for a fly rod on the Green River come summer. Hike and mountain bike through the Wind River Range, one of the most rugged and least crowded ranges in the Lower 48. Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are both a scenic drive away, and Jackson Hole's music, rodeo, and cultural scene make for a great day off.

Climb, raft, camp, hunt, photograph, or just sit back and watch the sun set over the Wind Rivers. Whatever gets you outside, western Wyoming has it in spades. This is why people fall in love with a season here and never really leave.
