• Chair lift operations including operating lift machinery, meeting, and greeting all guests who ride a chairlift
• Lift and event queue management
• Maintaining mountain bike trails
• Parking cars and other car park duties
• Being training in Indoor Operations, as you may be obliged to work as indoor crew as and when is necessary
