LEAD THE NORDIC EXPERIENCE AT SNOW MOUNTAIN RANCH

Turn your passion for Nordic skiing into a leadership role in the Colorado Rockies.

At Snow Mountain Ranch, winter isn't just a season — it's an experience. As the Nordic Center Supervisor, you'll lead the day-to-day operations of our Nordic Center while helping guests discover the beauty and adventure of cross-country skiing across our mountain trail system.

You'll supervise and schedule staff, coordinate ski lessons and Nordic programming, oversee retail and rentals, work directly with guests and groups, and help create memorable winter experiences for everyone who visits the Ranch.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead daily operations of the Nordic Retail & Rental Center

  • Train, schedule, supervise, and support Nordic Center staff and instructors

  • Coordinate ski lessons, Nordic programming, and guest group activities

  • Teach beginner Nordic ski lessons with PSIA Level 1 training

  • Help guests choose the right equipment and provide skiing and waxing advice

  • Perform and teach practical waxing techniques for classic and skate skis

  • Maintain inventory and keep the Nordic Center organized and ready for guests

  • Coordinate with Bryan Mountain Ski Patrol on safety and emergency response

  • Support larger Nordic events and special programming throughout the season

  • Step into a leadership role for the Nordic Center when the Nordic Director is away

WHY WORK HERE?

This is more than a winter job.

You'll work in a stunning mountain environment, surrounded by miles of Nordic trails and a community of people who love the outdoors. Every day brings opportunities to ski, lead, teach, solve problems, and help guests experience the Rockies.

At the YMCA of the Rockies, your work is also part of something bigger. Our staff create meaningful experiences for guests while living out our values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Faith.

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU...

  • Love Nordic skiing and sharing it with others

  • Enjoy working outdoors in snow, cold, and changing mountain weather

  • Have strong leadership, communication, and customer service skills

  • Enjoy training and developing a team

  • Can confidently ski on groomed and ungroomed terrain

  • Like a job where no two days are exactly alike

  • Are comfortable working weekends and holidays during the winter season

  • Bring a positive, professional, and problem-solving attitude to a busy environment

PSIA Level 1 training, waxing knowledge, and First Aid/CPR/AED certification can be provided if needed.

YOUR WINTER ADVENTURE STARTS HERE
