At Cooper Spur Ski Area, we pride ourselves on our strong guest service.  Our lift operators are presented with the opportunity to be at the forefront of that service experience.  Since we have a smaller family based clientele it is easy to get to know many of our guests on a bit of a personal level.  That is the difference we strive for.  It can feel like an individual experience for riders on a hill that caters to them.  It is also of utmost importance to create a safe and collaborative work environment.  You will be part of a small team that relies heavily upon one another to create a positive work experience for each other.  Simply loading and unloading the chairlift is a small part of what we do.  Come on up and find out for yourself.  Join our team and breathe in some of that fresh mountain air!

At Mt. Hood Meadows and Cooper Spur Mtn. Resort our mission is enriching the lives of our team, guests, and community. We believe this is a place where feeling a sense of belonging, rocking the team and guest experience, and exceeding expectations leads to your life being enriched. We welcome all to their mountain home.
