They believe that their enthusiasm and positive attitude makes this a great place to visit or to work. They believe in taking responsibility for meeting their commitments, and inspire those around them to do the same. They celebrate accountability, safety, respect, trust, and look not for the problems, but for the solutions. They show a commitment to teamwork and fully engaging their efforts in our shared goals. They understand the terms of employment and will work to follow them.

FAQ's

When do your seasons start and finish?

Our winter season operates from early December to mid-April; summer season runs from late May to the end of September.

What will I need in order to be hired?

You need to be legally entitled to work in Canada for the full duration of your contract, have a Social Insurance Number, and have arranged for your own work permit. Depending on the position, you may require a clear police check and extra certifications, such as Food Safe, Serving it Right, First Aid, Drivers License and Instructing Certificates (CSIA, CASI, PMBIA). We will also conduct pre-employment reference checks.

Do you hire international applicants?

Yes, as long as you have a valid work permit. You will be required to provide a copy or photo of your valid Canadian work permit and SIN Letter in order to commence working with us. You can speak to the Canadian Consulate in your country about obtaining a work permit for our amazing country!

Do you have staff accommodation?

No, at this stage we don’t have access to any staff housing. However, we are committed to making sure you have every resource available to you to find the perfect lodging for your time in Golden!

The town of Golden is located only 20 minutes from the Resort and has a range of accommodation opportunities. Many of the rentals are privately owned and managed, so you won’t find much on your typical real estate websites (although sometimes it’s worth looking on Kijiji or Remax Rental Properties).

To have the same opportunities as a local, join the Golden Classifieds and the Golden Homes for Rent or Sale Facebook pages. Private rooms or whole apartment rentals are posted on there for easy viewing. If you have a car then The Blaeberry Valley Apartments are always a good choice for accommodation.

If you’re looking for some short term accommodation for when you first arrive then look no further than Mary’s Motel, The Dreamcatcher Hostel and the Kicking Horse Hostel.
Make sure you’re aware of your rights as a tenant and read the BC Residential Tenancy Act.

Do I need a car?

In the winter season, we have a Staff Shuttle Bus that operates daily, morning and afternoon, stopping at multiple locations both in town and up at the Resort. We also promote a strong and safe carpooling game within our employee pool, motivating everyone by presenting one winner each month with a free oil change at Fountain Tire!

In summer the Staff Shuttle Bus isn’t available, but once again our staff are professionals at carpooling and have it narrowed it down to a fine art!

Living in a town surrounded by so many amazing National Parks, having access to a car is a big help in both the summer and winter months. Perhaps you and a friend want to get exploring the mountains by sharing the costs of owning a car! – why not check out the Golden BC Buy & Sell Facebook Page, Kijiji, Craigslist, or your Marketplace in Facebook.

What perks will I get as an employee of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort?

As part of our team, you can be eligible for the following perks!

  • Free pass to KHMR and other RCR Resorts.
  • Free lessons: Skiing, snowboarding and mountain biking.
  • Discounts on Accommodation at RCR Resorts.
