As one of the key elements to our success, Snowmaking is a fast paced, physically challenging and also a very rewarding position.
Elk Mountain relies on man-made snow to get our slopes open and increase the snow depth to fulfill our promise to our guests for a lengthy and quality ski season. Man-made snow is the end result of combining compressed air, high pressured water and cold temperatures. Our snowmakers are responsible for the set up and operation of the snowmaking equipment. When temperatures permit, we will try to make snow 24 hrs/day, 7days/week thru December and January until Elk has 100% great snow cover. We typically continue making snow, as needed, from this point thru February and into March.
