The Word – 12/9/2015
Hello everyone! We are set for an interesting weekend with a lot of snow on the horizon (12″-18″ Saturday through Sunday Night) with more lining up for next week! This is the start we’ve been hoping for!
Please double check your schedule for this weekend to make sure you do not miss a shift. Even folks who have not attended orientation may still be scheduled to work. If you cannot check your schedule or you are a carpet operator, cashier or attendant and have not yet been shown how to check your schedule online please reach out to us to confirm whether you are scheduled or not.
If you have been waiting to pick up a uniform you may now do so (keep reading) and please make sure you show up with enough time to do so prior to your shift.
Highway 2 is now open after the DOT cleared the mudslide in Tumwater Canyon so get ready for the holiday ramp up to begin in earnest.
Eastside Transit
Eastside transit has been patchy this week due to the urgent need for a driver to assist during the week. If you are interested in picking up some extra hours please check the Job Opportunities section further down this page…
Holiday Spotlight
Our staffing is really starting to take shape for the season and we have a boat load of new instructors raring to go and on the cusp of getting their first classes! We have however also had several folks reduce their full time or mid-week availability and so we are a little short Monday-Friday and inparticular Mon-Fri during the two weeks of the Christmas Holiday.
Please double check your schedule from December 19th through January 3rd in RTP. Let us know if you are “Scheduled to Work” on any days that you are not actually available, and also if you are available additional days, half days or evenings and would like to help us out during this period we would greatly appreciate it. If you would like to add days over Christmas in exchange for days later in the winter please let us know also.
If you are a Part Timer looking to switch to Full Time we may now have some openings so let us know.
Employee Handbook
The Stevens Pass Employee Handbook is updated each year and all employees are required to be familiar with the information it contains.
You will be receiving an email from HR early season with an online copy of the handbook that you are required to read through and sign off on.
A downloadable copy of the handbook is also available here, and lives in the Current Staff menu above.

Company Store Open This Weekend
The moment has finally come, the Company Store is having a soft opening this weekend! The Store will be open Friday-Sunday 8am – 4pm. For those that don’t know, the Company Store (located near HR) is an employee only store that sells heavily discounted snacks, drinks, breakfast and pre-made lunch items. It is also the place where you can pick up your uniform jacket.
Uniforms and Passes
We have determined our uniform numbers and instructor jackets will be issued to all instructors with a start date prior to January 1st who are working the equivalent of one day per week (16 days or more) throughout the season. If you haven’t collected a jacket yet you may do so from HR during the open hours of the Company Store (see above)
Intermittent employees, employees starting after January 1st or those with a commitment below 16 days will check out a jacket on a daily basis from within the locker room to ensure we have as many people as possible in a jacket that fits them.
if you are unsure whether this means you will get a jacket or not simply email us and we’ll let you know. Thanks for your patience and understanding on this!
If you haven’t already picked it up your Season Pass is available from Sydney. In order to pick up your pass or have your existing one activated you will need to have completed the following:
- Your HR paperwork
- Turned in your IDs to HR
- Completed your background checK
- Completed the Ski and SB School Policies and Procedures quiz after reading through our material here
If you have any questions or need help with any tasks please let us know.
