A lot of places are hiring and there are plenty of opportunities for part-time and full-time work out there, so why would you choose us? Because when you work at Massanutten, it is not just a job - it’s a culture. We work here and we play here. We make friends here, we have fun here, and we make money here. Everyone knows everyone and everyone has a place.
As an employee owned company, we all share the same goal – we want to make sure everyone has a good time while they’re here. Guests are the priority, obviously, but work doesn’t have to be boring either. You don’t have to sit behind a desk all day or stock shelves – you can be outside, you get a great view and you get to meet people from all over the world.
The best part? Our guests are here to have a good time and all you have to do is help them do that in a safe and enjoyable environment. Who doesn’t want help people have fun? Put them in a great mood and show them why everyone should want to come here.
Our jobs have a little something for everyone:
We offer a little bit of everything and no one in the area can match what we have to offer. Fun jobs, employee access to all the awesome things that others have to pay for, and best of all, the people. We are right in your backyard and you’ll never work somewhere so big and so small at the same time – we’re a tightknit group, but as long as you care about our guests as much as we do, you’ll fit right in.
Do you enjoy being outside, talking with others, helping people learn a new skill, and being physically active? If so, Instructing is for you. Do you have a few free evenings a week, or a day here and there to earn some extra money? If so, Instructing is for you.

"Working with the Snow Sports Learning Center has not only elevated my riding, but introduced me to a world of teaching I never knew. In addition to a new skill, I have gained a family that I get to spend time with every winter!"- Chad S.
"I have been a Ski and Snowboard Instructor for the last 13 years. I actually worked about 35 years ago before I had kids, and then returned when they were old enough to be on the Snowboard team. I got a special value pass but realized I missed teaching. I had learned to snowboard and was rehired as a snowboard instructor but also taught skiing. It’s a fun winter activity and I have met lifelong friends through the Massanutten family. My skiing and riding has improved so much with clinics and just riding with my friends. It’s just a fun seasonal job where I get to do what I love!"- Suzy S.
While we do not have a shuttle for employees, you are more than welcome to talk with a supervisor. We have lots of instructors coming from JMU and other local colleges! We will always be willing to work with employees to make sure that they can make it into work safely and on time.
Experience teaching skiing or snowboarding is not essential. Having the ability and desire to communicate with our guests is our goal. If you can safely ski or snowboard our easiest slope, you can teach! Even if you have no experience on the slopes, we can train you to be a better skier/rider, as well as a good instructor. So, no teaching experience is required.
If you do not have your own equipment, you may use our rental gear for tryouts. After you’re hired, we can provide you with discounted equipment options for the season. We will issue you a vest and jacket for use while instructing; However, you will need to acquire your own black pants to wear as part of your uniform.
We have many schedule options from part time to full time to fit your needs.
From the adults to the children, the first timers to the advanced skiers, our supervisor will be willing to work with you to make sure you’re teaching a group that you’re comfortable with.
Pay starts between $11.50/hr. to $13.50/hr, based on your schedule and time commitment. Raises are earned from the number of hours taught and training clinics taken.
Being a resort, often our guests are gracious with tips for the excellent care and customer service that you will provide. Many of our instructors are rewarded with tips after a lesson.
