What do I need for training?
· Warm clothes, gloves, hats, warm shoes, etc. - We will be spending a good bit of time both inside and outside. Don’t wear flip flops. (We have seen that before, they don’t work well with snow.)
· Ski pass – You need your ski pass in order to clock in and out and get paid. It is also handy to go skiing. You get your ski pass after you have finished all your paperwork at the paperwork session (details below).
· Lunch – We generally have enough time to get lunch in the village, but it gets expensive and busy around noon. You might want to pack a lunch to save some money and relax during the lunch break.
· A clean look – You don’t want to be the person who gets sent home (to the next training class or for good) for not shaving. If you have established facial hair that looks respectable, that is ok, otherwise, make sure you’re cleaned up every day! ***We get to decide what looks respectable and what doesn’t! If you have any questions it might be a good idea to come visit us before training.***
· A willingness to learn and have fun doing it!
Paperwork
We are having a paperwork session on Friday, November 5th from 3pm to 5pm. You can get all your paperwork done in one place, check out the locker room, have some delightful refreshments, and have the peace of mind that everything that you needed to do is finished before training.
Uniforms
Uniforms consist of pants, a jacket, and a vest. We’ll also give you a pair of work gloves. You will need to provide your own hat, goggles, boots, undergarments, and anything else you want to wear. Non-uniform clothes have to be tucked in at all times, so leave your tall-t’s at home. Also, any kind of shirt that you wear under your vest, if you only wear a vest, has to be solid black. You can always wear your jacket though!
Employee Handbook
The employee handbook can be found here: http://jobs.vailresorts.com/skijob1/SiteAssets/files/main/2011%20Employee%20Handbook.pdf
It has all of the corporate policies and a ton of other information. Check it out if you want!
