Weeknight (Mon-Thu) park staff will be scheduled as a lift operator, working lifts until close then completing a closing maintenance rake lap on the terrain parks.

Build Shifts: These shifts take place roughly once a week and are typically during the day before the hill is open to the public (or take place at close). These shifts consist of working with the snow cat operator and other park staff to build and set the features in the park. (Shoveling, raking, & sculpting). This is outside physical labor in all types of weather conditions.
