Why Work at Great Northern?
Wonderful people, friendly staff and a beautiful, natural environment make Great Northern a super place to work
The People
- Our guests are a fascinating group from around the world with diverse backgrounds – every week is a chance to meet exciting new people.
- Our staff, though small, is always made up of a mix of unique, diverse individuals, and we hope every winter to develop a fun, friendly atmosphere amongst the staff.
The Place
- Our lodge is set in the secluded wilderness of the Selkirk mountains — a great place for a little peace and quiet away from the madness of the city.
- Despite the secluded setting, you're only 1½ hours from Revelstoke, 45 minutes from Nakusp, and 1/2 hour away from Halcyon Hot Springs, all great options on days off.
The Skiing
- While we can never guarantee staff seats in the snowcat, if your day off happens to coincide with an empty spot, you can enjoy the best powder skiing on earth!
The “Great Northern Savings Program”
- Lots of work and little opportunity to spend your paycheque means that saving for that trip overseas, or whatever else, is easier than ever!
A Learning Opportunity
- We run with a small crew around here, which means that everyone gets an opportunity to discover the inner workings of a cat skiing operation — excellent experience for anyone with aspirations in the skiing, tourism, and hospitality industries.
“Everything was wonderful! The staff, the snow, the terrain, the food. Special kudos to the staff for their
friendliness and hospitality.”
Lil Heming, Calgary, Alberta
