Position Overview

As a Mountain Safety Host at Mt. Hood Meadows, you're more than just a presence on the slopes, you're a frontline ambassador of safety, guest service, and mountain culture.

This is a seasonal opportunity for individuals who thrive in alpine environments, are passionate about winter sports, and want to make a difference by combining guest service with safety leadership.
