Position Overview
Lead guests beyond the beaten path and help them experience Mt. Hood in a whole new way! As a Snowshoe Guide at Mt. Hood Meadows, you’ll lead guests of all ages on guided snowshoe tours through the mountain environment, sharing the experience while helping guests feel comfortable, engaged, and connected to the outdoors.
You’ll lead individuals and groups along designated snowshoe routes, demonstrate proper snowshoe use, provide basic instruction, and prepare trails before tours. You’ll also support daily Nordic Center operations, assist with equipment rentals and guest check-in, and work closely with other departments to keep tours running safely and smoothly.
If you enjoy being outside, working with people, and sharing your enthusiasm for the mountain, this is a great opportunity to turn that passion into a rewarding seasonal role. Spend your winter exploring Mt. Hood, introducing guests to snowshoeing, and helping create memorable mountain experiences, even for those who don’t ski or snowboard.
