Sunday River is part of the American Skiing Company family of resorts, and is one of the largest ski area operators in New England. Founded in 1958 by a group of local ski enthusiasts, the resort began at Barker Mountain and now includes eight peaks, 128 trails and 18 lifts. Snowmaking, for which the company is most renowned, covers 92 percent of the resort's 663 skiable acres. There are approximately 250 year-round workers, and close to 1,200 at peak season. Sunday River values diversity, and employees come from around the world to experience the winter lifestyle in Newry and Bethel.

What we will expect of you:
Staff members are expected to be well groomed and in uniform, including proper footwear, at all times while working at Sunday River. Good personal hygiene should be practiced daily. Hair must be clean, neatly trimmed and groomed, and of a natural color. Sunday River does not allow any visible pierced body parts, including tongues, other than ears. Visible tattoos must be covered during work hours.
All staff members are expected to report to work for all scheduled shifts. Staff members must have reliable transportation before obtaining a position. To prevent chronically late or absenteeism issues from causing ongoing problems for their operating group, employees may be separated from employment at Sunday River for attendance reasons.
Sunday River Ski Resort is committed to providing a safe work environment and to fostering the well being of its staff. That commitment is jeopardized when any staff member uses alcohol or illegal drugs on the job or comes to work under the influence of alcohol in the workplace. The possession, use or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal narcotics or medicines during working hours or reporting to work under the influence of the above is grounds for immediate dismissal.
Sunday River encourages a tobacco-free workplace. The use of tobacco is not permitted while in view of a guest, in any building or company vehicle. Staff members are allowed to smoke only in designated staff smoking areas while wearing a Sunday River uniform.
All staff members are hired as a general ski resort worker, even though you may start a job in a specific department. On any given day, a staff member may be asked to perform a different job than the one for which he/she was originally hired. In order for Sunday River to succeed, we all need to work together to give our guests their greatest experience ever.
