INTERESTED H2B VISA APPLICANT:

We are not accepting H2B applications for the 2010-2011 winter season. 

ALL VISA APPLICANTS:

We're excited that you are interested in employment with Aspen Skiing Company (ASC). It is important that you read all of this information very carefully. Aspen Skiing Company owns and operates four ski areas - Snowmass, Buttermilk, Highlands and Aspen Mountain.

If you receive a job offer we will proceed with securing your visa. Before you accept a job offer, it is important to carefully consider the position for which you are applying because you cannot change positions once we have assigned your name to a visa.

Additional information you must consider before you decide to accept a position with Aspen Skiing Company.

  • Weather Risk: The winter resort industry is snow dependent. While Colorado usually enjoys excellent snow conditions, sometimes snow comes late. If we experience low or delayed snow, we may be unable to open all or part of the ski area as scheduled. In that event, work may not be available to you.
  • Embassy and Consulate procedures and policies: The policies for issuance of visas for foreign work and travel vary widely from country to country and from embassy/consulate to embassy/consulate. These procedures may also change from day-to-day. You should check with your consulate or embassy on a regular basis.
  • US Visa approval: US visa approval is conditional and does not guarantee that your local consulate or embassy will issue a visa.
  • Housing in Aspen: Housing is scarce and may be expensive. You should inquire in advance to determine whether you can find housing acceptable to you.
  • Timing of Visa approval and issuance: The timing for Visa approvals and issuance is beyond the control of ASC. We will make all reasonable efforts to help expedite the process, but we make no guarantees. You should carefully weigh the financial consequences to you that may result from visa delays and plan accordingly.
  • Travel arrangements: In making travel arrangements, you should consider the possibility that visa issuance maybe delayed. We strongly recommend that you not make any reservations that are non-refundable.
  • Working in a foreign country: While in the U.S., you must be prepared to be self-sufficient. If you have substantial personal, family, or financial commitments that cannot tolerate uncertainty, our seasonal work may not be appropriate for your circumstances.
