  • Build and maintain SOPs, trip checklists, and safety protocols for winter activity lines, ensuring consistent execution across the team.
    
• Member & Guest Experience
  • Greet members and prospects on arrival to Outdoor Pursuits areas, including the trailhead, lift line, and cat and UTV staging areas, introducing them to Guides, Attendants, and Coaches.
  • Facilitate impeccable member and guest service across all winter programming.
  • Respond to emails and member requests in a timely manner.
    
• Daily Duties & Reporting
  • Keep Outdoor Pursuits winter areas tidy and presentable, including gear rooms, staging areas, and equipment storage.
  • Take, organize, and confirm bookings and schedules for the winter season.
  • Create the daily activities report and send it to management, including snow and terrain conditions relevant to programming.
  • Write and distribute the daily task list to Outdoor Pursuits staff.
  • Ensure daily, weekly, and monthly checks are completed on winter equipment and across Outdoor Pursuits areas.
