Mont-Tremblant

This company has got to be one of the worst managed companies in Canada. Management is nothing but a group of puppets, controlled be unseen head honchos in Denver, and everything now is up in the air following the indirect purchase of Intrawest / Fortress Investment Group by Aspen Holdings. 
Work hours cutbacks, split shifts, lack of proper staffing, last-minute reactive measures instead of being proactive and foreseeing situations that a 3-year old could see, very little concern about client safety on the mountain (10,000 + people with two!! runs open), supervisors who are simply unqualified for their jobs, plus so much more, makes this company look like a grouping of idiots in the eyes of the clients. In a tourist resort such as Tremblant, one would expect an employee to be functionally bilingual, at the very least, and sadly, this is far from being reality. The cons of working here are somewhat offset by a few interesting benefits, however, but not enough to make it a good company to work for. Work / life balance is impossible to attain because of forced week-end shifts and irregular hours. The hardest part of the job is trying to deal with incompetence and a huge amount of plain stupidity, plus the fact that management doesn't give a hoot about staff concerns. All they care about, every one, is to make sure that the ridiculous profit margins are attained so that they can get their bonus at the end of the year. Aspen Holdings hopefully should be cleaning house soon, and there's no other bunch of administrators anywhere than those at Tremblant who deserve more to be put out to pasture. The union is a mixed blessing, having negotiated some very good benefits, but a nightmare to deal with when management has to overlook seniority.

The syndicat allows for some of the best salaries in teaching skiing, especially if you're doing privates, but it also means senority means more than skill when it comes to attributing classes.

Right now there is an employee shortage, so it's very easy to work, but it used to be that you never knew if you would work (unless you had a special program group, like weekend programs or ski-weeks) before the daily checkin. The worst part about it being that "checkin" time not being paid if you dont work. While it rarely takes more than 20 minutes, that does add up after a while.

But it's really fun to be able to ski at a world class resort for free and it boasts more level 4 instructors than most places. Training is kind of up and down though, I feel it used to be more frequent, but you can still get free trainings every sundays.

One problem is that it's hard to work more than 5 hours per day, so a lot of people will need a second job if they want to do this full time.


The Station is a highly enjoyable place to work with decent benefits and access to many benefits, all set in an absolutely gorgeous part of the Laurentians. Pay is good, though hours vary between reasonable and draining, all depending on the time of year. High season (late june to august and late december to late february) can become rather stressful. Fellow workers on the mountain are amazing people and exceedingly helpful and pleasant to be around, and you're sure to meet all sorts of folks while you're there. Unsurprisingly, knowing how to speak french is nearly a must, though english will help you quite a lot with customers.

Tremblant atmosphere is great but most departements are a pain to work at. Overworked and underpaid employees, a lot of people leaving, puts pressure on those staying etc...
Management is clearly lacking. Most people at management positions don't know what they are doing/didn't go to school.
Parking is usually far from where you work. Higher ups get to park closer, of course. (you understand the kind of place this is ?). Management wants you to finish your work thats a huge pile every shift but don't want to pay you overtime..? A lot of contradictions.
And a lot of stress during the tourist busy times.. a lot. 

There is no customer service you are there to sell tickets for activities and not answer client concerns  If your handed american money theres no exchange for the customer. All american money from your cash is deposited seperatley from Canadian money .... Real rip off artists ... Hated working there management is awful.

I had a great experience at the school ski. I completed my third year a few weeks ago and am completely satisfied with my experience. We work as a community and help support eachother throughout the day and get to enjoy beautiful weather and scenery at the same time.

I keep coming back to Tremblant because it is just like family to me. Great co-workers, decent pay, and you never get bored. I don't always agree with the decisions, but overall great!
