What are the best places for winter seasonal jobs?

I'm thinking about finding a winter seasonal job this year. Does anyone have recommendations for the best places to look for these types of jobs? I'm particularly interested in outdoor positions or roles at ski resorts.

Great to know you're seeking winter seasonal jobs, especially ones situated outdoors or at ski resorts. These can not only provide a source of income, but also a fun and unique experience!

For outdoor or ski resort jobs, check directly on the websites of sought-after resorts. Some popular resorts in the U.S. include Vail and Aspen in Colorado, Deer Valley in Utah, and Stowe Mountain in Vermont. They often hire for positions like ski instructors, lift operators, rental technicians, as well as hospitality roles like baristas, servers, and hotel staff.

Also, consider job search platforms. Indeed and SimplyHired often list seasonal winter work. SnowJobz and CoolWorks are two niche job boards that specialize in posting ski resort and other winter seasonal jobs.

Additionally, national and state park roles may be of interest. These can include jobs such as tour guides, equipment rental, or visitor center staff. You can typically find these listed on the websites of individual parks or via the National Park Service jobs page.

Remember to apply early! Especially for the more popular resorts, these jobs can get snatched up quickly, and by starting your job search earlier, you'll have a wider selection and better odds.

Hope this gives you a good starting point and best of luck in your job search!
