Like most businesses, it's challenging finding enough employees right now. We are in the middle of our hiring process and we are making some progress but we still have a lot of holes to fill before the start of our season. Well before the pandemic and several years ago now we began working on a plan to not only attract more employees but to improve the employment experience for all of our managers, supervisors, and all of our part-time and full-time employees. We believe strongly that the more our employees love coming to the ski area to work, the more our passholders and customers will love coming to Welch Village to ski and snowboard.
Working in this industry at our ski area is special. It's unlike any other part-time, full-time, or seasonal job. We could say the same thing about the sport of skiing & snowboarding itself.
One of the best decisions we made a few years ago was improving and investing into a larger scale annual Employee Appreciation & Awards Party. In a lot of ways, this has become the highlight of our season. All of our department managers award a department MVP. We hand out an overall WV MVP award. We giveaway tons of cool door prizes like Twins tickets, flat screen TV's, Solo Stoves & more. We cater in food (last spring is a full-on buffet from Chipotle in Hastings), and we celebrate another successful season together.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a fun & rewarding part-time job (& a free season pass!), or looking for a community of really cool people this winter, visit our Employment Page and join us this winter for a few months. I may be biased, but there are few things as fun & as rewarding as spending your winter at a ski area. Our wages are competitive and we are flexible and will work with your schedule as much as we can.
