Retail Manager - Ski/Snowboard Shop, Kendall Mountain in Silverton, CO

Ski/Snowboard Shop Manager at Kendall Mountain, a tiny ski area in Silverton, Colorado.  We opened just last year and are the only ski shop in Silverton, CO!

 

We are open 11am - 4pm Friday-Sunday, occasionally open weekdays for private groups with advance notice.  We rent and sell skis, snowboards, sleds, snowshoes, skates, cross country skis, clothing, etc.

 

We are located at the base of Kendall Mountain, a 1-chairlift hill that's great for learning and perfect for after school/work runs for the locals.  We sell the lift tickets for Kendall too (only $10-15/day for a lift ticket!).  We have lots of used equipment and do season and daily rentals.  We don't have much new equipment.  Retails sales are mostly of clothing, accessories and some used stuff.

 

If you want to move to Silverton in order to ski/ride Silverton Mountain - this job might not be a good fit since we are open the same days as Silverton Mountain.
