Hello Everyone.

Unfortunately I've lost a member of my team for this season and am now looking to fill the spot.

The Valemount Area Recreation Development Association is asking for resumes of experienced snowmobile operators who are interested in becoming a member of the Snowhost Team.

The Host Team is resonsible for area maintenance, but more importantly
on-mountain boundary patrol and rider education relating to sustainable and ethical riding, avalanche awareness and our areas Wildlife Sensitivities. We also act as a liason to the snowmobile community and offer to assist where ever needed, from showing newcomers around to helping out in emergency situations.

The postion begins roughly the last week in November and goes through to approx the end of April. The shifts are three days a week, Fri, Sat, Sunday and most holidays.

The ideal applicant is one who has:
-Long history of mountain snowmobiling prefferably in the Valemount Area
-Previous guiding experience an asset
-First Aid
-Avalanche Awareness minimum
-Must own a late model reliable snowmobile
-Must own a 4x4 vehicle in reliable condition
-Refferances are a must. Not necessary from past work, but refferances who can stand up for your character. (we have to watch each others backs out there)

The successful candidate would also be welcome to return next season.

For more information please phone or email the VARDA office @
1-250-566-4817

Actually the position pays well and a youngish single person could easily work the 3 days and PLAY the rest.

I really thought there would be some more interest in this, I may have my work cut out for me finding a suitable partner.

Anyone who would like to discuss the position and find out more info should call me at 1-250-566-4817

That sounds to be pretty much the best job ever.

If only the old lady was fully done her schooling...

No sorry needed, I understood what you were saying.:beer:

I assumed there would be more interest as well, but we will find the right person before the snow flies

Yeah, Duane is not too happy, but he was offered full time on our village crew, which is union, full benefits etc. Kind of hard to pass up for a guy with a young family.

Having someone you can really trust is important out there. When the sun is shining its all smiles, but the job can get very serious in a hury.

This position is excellent training and experience for anyone interested in becoming a guide in the future as well.
