Alberta Employment Standards regarding a ninety-day probationary period applies.
A Day in the life of a Lift Operator
You’re waking up in our beautiful small-town Jasper to fresh mountain air while waiting for the staff bus to pick you up and transport you up the mountain to the Lift Operations locker room (a.k.a. the Boot Up Room) where you arrive around 7:45 am. After signing in, putting on your riding gear and uniform you are ready for the day. Your Supervisor/Foreman will assign you to a small team and will determine at which lift station you will start your day. Information about the day will be relayed by your Supervisor/ Foreman, and then you proceed to your lift around 8:15am with a magnificent sunrise backdrop over the Rocky Mountains (lift assignments change daily to maintain variety and provide our Operators with a broad experience throughout the season).
Fresh tracks are guaranteed working as a Lift Operator as you make your way to your assigned lift for the day. If you’re lucky enough, you get to start the day at the top of the lift and get to watch the day begin with incredible mountain sceneries, while preparing your lift station with various tools for ramp work and carry out safety checks for opening.
Before the lifts open, our job provides a ‘free gym membership’ which helps keep you in shape with duties like: shoveling snow, chipping ice and clearing head traps from snow. Other duties before our 9am opening time include routine lift-related safety checks, as well as coming up with a good quote, a funny riddle or a creative picture to draw on your lift whiteboard which is intended to provide our guests with basic weather and lift information.
9am arrives and our lifts open. Now you are greeting guests and keeping an eye on the excited public and your co-workers as they load and unload the lift station. Some other jobs of a Lift Operator include the proper documentation of our daily legal Lift Logs, relaying important information such as Ski Patrol toboggans making their way up the lift, or forwarding messages such as lift/terrain closures to and around one of our other 6 lifts.
Eventually it will be time for your rotation/switching stations on your designated lift or to go on your break. Whether you spend it riding on some of Marmot Basin’s 91 runs or you decide to just spend your break relaxing in one of our designated Staff areas, enjoying a freshly brewed Starbuck’s coffee, this is totally up to you. By the end of the day, you will have worked top and bottom of your lift in rotation, made some new friends and become a little closer with our local guests. At 4pm the lifts have closed, and you are waiting for the last loaded chair to get to the top of your designated lift. Our School House lift is located alongside our parking lot system and stays open for public until 4:30 pm, so our Guests/co-workers can get back to their vehicles. If you finish at the top station of your lift, it means you get to ride down to our locker room with your colleagues to finish the day.
The Lift Ops team meets at the locker room at the end of each day to get ready to take the bus home at 5pm. This is the time to share stories about the day, tell your friends that you finally landed that ‘nose grab 360°’ and plan the rest of the afternoon to experience all there is to do in Jasper including ice skating on one of our surrounding frozen lakes, snowshoeing, dog sledding, hiking our local trails, exploring the frozen natural sculptures of the Maligne Canyon or just sitting around a crackling outdoor fire, surrounded by your friends sharing the view of the illuminated mountain tops, watching the stars, and sometimes seeing the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) dancing through the skies above.
