As the name states, Park City, also has some of the most unreal parks in the country.

However for the up‐and‐coming skier/rider, there are several other smaller parks for you to hone your skills before stepping it up.

It is committed to its employees to provide professional and personal development. The resort reliably provides its guests with less icier conditions and greater wind protection than most other resorts around Lake Tahoe.



Homewood Ski Resort - California

Rising spectacularly from the shores of the west lake, Homewood has the most amazing views out of any resort around Lake Tahoe. Although smaller in size, with only 1240 skiable acres and a vertical drop of around 1650 ft, there are many reasons why locals prefer this mountain. “From the top of the mountain looking down, it almost looks like you will ski right down into the lake,” commented past participant Simon, “the views, the people, the parties. I lovedworking at this resort.”

Because of its size, Homewood doesn't have the corporate feel that many larger resorts have. This results in somewhat of a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere around the resort. The slopes are also significantly less crowded than other resorts, providing guests with a more comfortable experience and fresh powder lines right up until closing. Homewood’s sister resort Alpine Meadows is also only about 11km away. Because these two resorts are owned by the same company, employees can enjoy staff benefits, lift passes and staff discounts on retail or food, at either resort.

Homewood does not provide staff accommodation, however finding a house around the resort is relatively easy. Last year all the participants were housed within five minutes walking distance to the resort.



Alpine Meadows Ski Resort - California

Positioned in North Lake Tahoe, this resort occupies 2400 skiable acres of some of the finest snow anywhere around the lake. Rising around 1000ft above tree level, or 10000ft above sea level, this resort has both epic tree runs, as well as big open faces, powder bowls, cliff drops and rock shoots. This mean that you can get big mountain riding, without the corporate working feel that many larger resorts have.

If you are a beginner however don’t fret. The resort has over 60% of beginner and intermediate terrain for you to ski/ride. Employees can also take part in ski or snowboard classes at the resort for free, if you are looking to improve. A huge positive of working at Alpine is that it has a sister resort called Homewood, around 11km away. If you work at one of these resorts, both your lift pass and resort benefits work at either resort. Meaning that in your time off you can explore another mountain for free!

As like most resorts around Tahoe, there is no on mountain lodging at Alpine, meaning that staff accommodation isn’t provided, however there is ample housing options within a 10 minute bus ride on the resort shuttle. Both The Working Holiday Club and Alpine Meadows will provide housing assistance for you, helping you find house‐mates and suitable housing options.
