Dogsledding Guides, Handler, Trail Groomer/Cat Operator
We are looking for one or two more guides, as well as one more handler for the upcoming fall/winter tour season. Must love dogs and be willing to put their needs as you top priority. You must enjoy working outdoors and some guiding experience is helpful, but not necessary. Parts of this job can be physically demanding at times, between handling dogs and carrying around full 5-gal pails in the snow. Must be reliable, have your own transportation, and live in or near Leadville. Like all outdoor tour industries, guides are a generously tipped position. We are also looking for a trail groomer/basic mechanic and maintenance person whose primary responsibility is the groom the trail with the snow cat or snowmobile and make minor repairs to equipment as needed. Starting range for this position is $20+/hr DOE.
Must be willing to commit to the entire season through at least the end of March at minimum, most likely through mid-April. This is a very busy seasonal operation. You also need reliable transportation as we are about 4 miles outside of town on Hwy 24.
