Jobs at Mountain Resorts

Barista Jobs

If you've ever ordered a Double Grande Caramel Frappuccino at Starbucks, then you've met a Barista. Baristas prepare a wide variety of coffee drinks at various restaurants and bars throughout the ski resort. They are required to have a complete understanding of the full line of drinks and snacks offered at each venue. Baristas work hectic shifts for an hourly wage and moderate tips.

Bartender Jobs

Bartenders prepare a variety of drinks and cocktails either behind the bar or on the serving floor in hundreds of clubs and fine restaurants located throughout the resort. Bartenders may be employed at either the resort's parent company, at hotels or other establishments. While the hourly rate of pay is typically low, with the proper attitude and "service with a smile", bartenders can make exceptional tips.

Similar to bartenders, Bellpersons will usually work for a relatively low hourly wage offset by lucrative tips.
