2022 Ski and Winter Sports Jobs Fairs

Ski job fairs are still a great way to land a job at a ski resort. Due to COVID-19, over the last two years, many of these job fairs were canceled or went to a virtual job fair format. But now many ski resorts have started doing physical job fairs again or a combination of virtual and physical job fairs. October and November are prime times for finding a cool job on the ski slopes this winter.

Whether you want to be a ski instructor, patrol the slopes, or staff the shops, getting a job at a ski resort can be competitive. One of the best ways to land a job is by attending a ski resort job fair.

Ski job fairs are a great place for you to learn about the various companies and resorts by talking one-on-one with the year-round staff. You can even schedule your job interview and many resorts make hiring decisions on the spot!

Keep the following tips in mind if you want to be successful at your ski job fair:

• Most fairs are held on-site or virtually a month or two before the start of the season (aka October – November).
• Some ski resorts require or recommend that you preregister on their website before the job fair. We have linked to each of the ski resort websites below.
• Also, check out the current ski and winter sports job postings on JobMonkey.
