Winter Positions with TLH Heliskiing at Tyax Lodge
A remote mountain lodge, no 'town' to speak of and 44 new faces and names
to meet every week...still interested?
There are many departments involved to keep a smooth heli-ski operation
going. And of course, it takes many talented people to fill the many roles
needed to bring interested heliskiers to our location. Below you will find
a list of positions and what you, the potential applicant, can expect from
the job. Keep in mind, it is a job, though perhaps one of the most interesting
you'll ever experience.
Everyone that puts in a winter season at Tyax Lodge has memories that will
stay with them - the kind of stories that are shared on a chairlift or perhaps
back at the bar after an epic day of powder. Each of the winter positions
involves long days, intense client interaction and above all, the need to
show our clients the best possible heliski experience in British Columbia.
And yes, our winter staff enjoy the treat of heliskiing and heliboarding
based on a rotation of staff and available seats. Most positions at the
lodge are based on a 2 weeks on - one week off model. Staff are encouraged
to leave the lodge to enjoy their week off and are discouraged from having
other employment during their time off from TLH.
Service staff at the lodge
Every winter from January through April, we are in need of talented individuals
to work with us in order to provide the best possible customer experience.
With up to 80 people (guests and staff combined) to look after, servers
and bartenders work with each other to ensure that clients needs are met
and expectations - surpassed.
Kitchen staff at the lodge
All kitchen positions come together to produce tantalizing meals that
keep our valuable clients happy and well fed. From dishwashing to the
executive chef, the kitchen crew is pivotal to the overall experience
of a TLH client. Special menu planning is often required, so the more
creative you are, the better.
Massage Therapists
You are the key to survival for many of our guests that may not be able
to dedicate the time to pre-trip conditioning workouts. Massage therapists
also are responsible for morning Yoga/stretch classes that many guests
attend. Your day may start at 06:00 and it could end at 22:00.
Radio Operators / Ski and Board
Techs
Primary duty is maintaining radio contact with up to 4 helicopters at
once. Willingness to learn our communications protocol and an ability
to interpret topographical maps is critical. Secondary duties are as the
ski/board tech. It's not all about waxing and smiling so interested applicants
need to have resort-based tech experiences in a demanding atmosphere.
Picture 44 people all anxious to get in the helicopter… can you
manage AND keep a grin?
Internationally Certified Mountain
Guides
Our guides are chosen not only for their guiding skills and qualifications,
but also for their enthusiastic and outgoing personalities. They are professional
guides who have passed a series of comprehensive examinations to qualify
them as members of the A.C.M.G. and the U.I.A.G.M., the recognized Canadian
and International Mountain Guide Associations. They are experienced at
balancing exciting and challenging skiing/riding with the safety and enjoyment
for the entire group. We do not employ tail-guides.
Vancouver/Whistler Concierge
Do you know the city well and enough about Whistler to ensure that all
transfers go smooth? Can you entertain a mixed group of international
heliskiers the night before their trip? How are you under pressure? What
would you do if Hans from Germany arrived to Vancouver without any of
his luggage?
Year round positions at our office in Vernon, BC
Why Vernon many people ask? Think of California-style summers and powder
skiing 20 minutes away. Need we say more? Though we have provided a brief
overview of positions, TLH Heliskiing is a small organization which means
an ever expanding list of responsibilities in-line with an employees comfort

Sales
It's all about putting 'bums on seats'. From chatting to a ski-patroller
that is ready to bust the piggy bank to clients with more vertical of
heliskiing than you'll get in a lifetime of resort-skiing - all types
of powder hounds choose TLH. Organized, enthusiastic and the ability to
multi-task are all critical factors for this position. Working closely
with management, this position is critical to the overall success of TLH
Heliskiing.
Reservations

timely collection of payments. Staff also assist clients with travel related
issues and provide local knowledge for pre/post heli plans. Often times

before they make their way to British Columbia.
