The Inside Scoop

At this time all positions for the 2010-2011 winter season have been filled. We suggest checking back as positions are likely to open again both before and during the season.

Arapahoe Basin (also known as A-Basin or just The Basin) ski area opened in 1946 and remains today solely a ski area, without other resort operations. Our terrain is varied; 10% is beginner, 30% is intermediate and 60% is advanced or expert. Half of our mountain is above timberline with open bowl skiing and snowboarding that lasts until June.

We are independently owned and we provide a family atmosphere for our employees, where everyone knows everyone. By necessity, we must work together to offer our guests the best possible A-Basin experience.

It has to be a good fit

If you're interested in working at Arapahoe Basin, this is one phrase you're likely to hear more than once throughout the application and interview process: "It has to be a good fit for both of us." Here at the Basin we are very much a team and we only want to hire employees who will fit in well with our fun and unique culture.

Here at the Basin, we are NOT looking for employees who just want a ski pass or who just need to pay the bills. We are looking for employees who want to be a part of our team. Teamwork is vital at a small ski area such as the Basin, so we've learned to STOP looking for employees and to START looking for teammates. We're looking for applicants who appreciate and can promote our family-friendly and guest service oriented atmosphere. Of course we're also looking for applicants who are passionate about skiing or riding and the mountain lifestyle in general. Each season we strive to fill all of our seasonal positions with hard-working, enthusiastic and responsible employees who want to be a part of the A-Basin team.
