Seasonal winter job in Alaska - Work at a remote lodge in Alaska!

By MJ | Posted 10/14/2008 | 39 Comments

Chance of a lifetime remote Alaska experience, spend no money, eat great food and work with a great team of employees and interesting clients. Short term positions that can lead to full-time employment with Alaska’s premier heli-ski operator. What a job description!

If you are in a mountain job search, dreaming of living in Alaska and have even a small sense of adventure, check out these Alaska jobs listed under the title, Remote Lodge Manager. There are two jobs available, Lodge Manager and General Maintenance.

One of the many ways locals in ski resort areas earn their living is by working full-time seasonal jobs. Ski resort towns generally have two distinct tourist seasons, making it entirely possible to have two completely different full-time jobs for the winter and summer, and even return to those same jobs and companies, year after year. On the other hand, sometimes a winter job is just about taking a break from your normal routine, looking for a new experience and seeking change.

Whatever the case may be for you, if you are considering a winter job in the mountains, this is a good one to explore. Spending the winter at a remote lodge in Alaska; I would say this experience would be highly memorable, and a decision that I highly doubt you would ever regret.
