Sugar Bowl Resort is seeking energetic, friendly Parking Attendants to work outdoors parking vehicles, directing traffic, and greeting guests.

Why Sugar Bowl?

Sugar Bowl Resort has been proudly independent for over 80 years and is one of the oldest ski resorts in California. Situated atop beautiful Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl has a storied past with ties to Austrian ski culture, Hollywood and Walt Disney.
