Position Overview

Do you love the mountain lifestyle and have a passion for sharing that joy with kids? Mt. Hood Meadows is looking for enthusiastic, organized, and guest-focused individuals for our Children’s Learning Center Leads to help create unforgettable winter experiences for our youngest skiers and snowboarders.
