We've made it to April at Okemo! There's more skiing and riding ahead throughout this month and we are excited about the spring turns to come!
As we head into April, please note we are transitioning to private lessons only, starting on April 4. We will also be reducing our newsletter cadence to occasional emails in the off-season but keep an eye on your inbox throughout the summer and fall to ensure you don't miss any steps for next season! We are excited to welcome you back next season. Remember, as a returning staff member, you do not need to reapply as long as your performance review reflects "achieves expectations" or above. You will receive your performance review after the season wraps up.
If you are looking for summer opportunities, Okemo is hiring! Take a look at summer positions here.
Enjoy the remainder of the season!
