Job Description
Description:
Department: Mountain Operations
Reports To: Lift Supervisor / Area Manager
Employment Type: Winter Seasonal
Schedule: Full-Time (5+ shifts/week) or Part-Time; must be available weekends and holidays
Job Overview
The Rope / Handle Tow Operator is responsible for safely monitoring and operating Seven Oaks' surface lifts. Unlike a chair lift operator, this position is primarily stationed inside a lift shack where the operator must remain alert and continuously watch guests using the rope or handle tow.
The operator must be prepared to immediately stop the tow when a guest falls, experiences difficulty, or another unsafe condition occurs. When necessary, the operator will leave the shack after stopping the tow to assist the guest, clear the tow path, and restart the lift once it is safe to do so.
This position requires strong attention to detail, good judgment, dependability, and the ability to remain focused while monitoring guests for extended periods.
