Job Description

Schweitzer Mountain Resort is a premier mountain destination renowned for its vibrant mountain recreation culture and commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences. As one of the leading ski resorts in the region, Schweitzer offers a stunning natural setting combined with top-notch facilities and services designed to accommodate visitors of all ages and interests. The resort is well-regarded for its friendly and inclusive work environment, fostering a community where passionate mountain recreation professionals are dedicated to both excellence and fun. Schweitzer is continuously expanding thoughtfully, enhancing mountain access and village life while prioritizing a culture that supports its employees and guests alike.

This job posting is for a Seasonal Part-Time Host/Busser position at the Sky House, a dining venue located at the top of the mountain. This role is integral to delivering an outstanding guest experience, as the host or busser is often the first and last point of contact for guests dining at the lodge. The position requires individuals who are professional, efficient, friendly, and welcoming, with a genuine desire to contribute to a positive atmosphere. The Host/Busser will maintain a steady flow of seating, greet and assist guests with their dining needs, ensure smooth communication between guests and servers, and contribute to overall restaurant operations including cleaning, resetting tables, and assisting servers with side work. This role demands physical stamina due to extended periods of standing and walking, along with the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform various physical activities such as bending, squatting, and reaching.

The position is seasonal with shifts typically from 11 am to 5 pm, requiring availability on weekends. Schweitzer offers competitive hourly wages starting at $14 plus tips, and employees enjoy several perks such as a free Alterra Mountain Resort pass, employee housing, discounted onsite childcare, accrued paid sick leave, and a 401(k) match program. Depending on employment status, full medical benefits, vacation time, and paid parental leave may also be available. The Host/Busser will be supervised by the Sky House FOH Manager and will be evaluated once per season to ensure performance standards are met.

Working at Schweitzer Mountain Resort is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to work in a dynamic mountain environment surrounded by passionate people who love what they do. Staff members are encouraged to engage fully with the resort's activities, gaining extensive knowledge about Schweitzer’s facilities to better assist guests and enhance their overall experience. Schweitzer values employees who can bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and reliability to their roles, contributing to the resort's friendly culture and commitment to guest satisfaction. If you are looking for a role that combines customer service with mountain recreation, this is an excellent opportunity to become part of a growing team dedicated to enhancing mountain access and village life for all visitors.
