Perks and Wages - Sunshine Village - Banff Ski Resort, Canada

At Sunshine we spend a lot of time and energy planning events and activities that extend beyond the skiing and riding experience.

Employee skiing and riding benefits.

All full time staff ski and ride free at Sunshine and over 18 other amazing resorts.

Discounts

Our staff get fantastic discounts at Sunshine Village too. We offer discounts in our Food & Beverage outlets, retail store, rental equipment and ski lessons (including some free ski/snowboard lessons).

Wages

Sunshine Village is a 7 month winter season employer. Our wages and benefits are competitive with other ski areas in Alberta. Regardless, the decision to work for Sunshine Village should not be for financial gain. What we can offer is the unique experience of working at one of Canada's premier ski resorts. In addition, employees can take away an impressive work reference along with the satisfaction of having completed a full seasonal work contract and hopefully leave with a few skiing and snowboarding tricks under their belt!

The majority of our seasonal positions start at $8.80 per hour.

Employee Recognition Program

At Sunshine Village we like to recognize our employees for a job well done, and our Employee of the Week program does just that. Ballots are collected throughout the season from co-workers, management and guests. Through a selected committee employees are nominated according to ballots/special achievements.

Going 'above and beyond' their usual duties or responsibilities - Our winners are invited to a delicious dinner in our Lookout Bistro. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, employees are treated to an amazing dinnerwhich will surely tantalize your tastebuds. A monthly winner is also selected from this esteemed group of employees.
