                                                          International Applicants

Thank you for your interest in working at Loveland Ski Area. For many years our team has welcomed employees from all around the world. It is a great asset to our community and guests to employ workers from a broad range of cultures. 

All international applicants and employees of the Ski Area should know that the participation in the international work program is subject to complex government regulations and works through agencies at the State Departments of Labor, Federal Department of Labor, United States Citizenship & Immigration Services and foreign consulates.  Ever-changing legislative regulations make it challenging for us to guarantee a position to anyone. Unpredictable economic conditions in the U.S. may require the Ski Area to re-evaluate our need for international staff from season to season.

                                                               J-1 visa applicants:

The Work and Travel program gives university students an opportunity to spend up to 4 months working in our company and traveling in the USA during their summer vacation. We are primarily looking for applicants who are able to work for the entire ski season (November through April). If you need information on how to obtain a J-1 visa, please visit the web-site of one of our J-1 partner company for more information at www.ccusa.com
