History

Mt Hood Skibowl has a long & storied history. The area held some of the earliest organized events on Mt. Hood, including a jumping event for the National Ski Association in 1929. Kirk Hanna purchased Skibowl out of bankruptcy in 1987 & has operated it longer than any owner. Hanna revolutionized the area by developing an extensive summer Adventure Park, allowing for a year-round, stable workforce & hedging against mother nature. Skibowl prides itself in being a “family” resort. Our employees work together & help out other departments, keeping us flexible & innovative. With this business model & mindset, we all have a bright future!

Work

Working on the mountain is a fun, unique & memorable experience. Each employee plays a vital role in our daily operations. The success of you & your teammates depends on each employee being on time, working their scheduled shift, & taking the initiative to help out wherever needed. Be prepared to work in all weather conditions.
