HomeSki Trip Leader Applicants

Apply to be a 2025 Ski Trip Leader or Assistant Trip Leader

The Columbia Ski Club is seeking leaders for 2025 ski trips. Applications are now being accepted for those interested in being either at Trip Leader (TL) or Assistant Trip Leader (ATL). The 2025 Ski Trip Leader Application Info document provides detailed instructions on the application process, scoring criteria, and selection timeline. A Selection Committee of three senior Club members will rank the applications and conduct an objective assignment based on the scoring criteria, past performance (if applicable), and best interests of the club.

All applicants must attend an in-person Orientation meeting on Sunday, 4/14/2024 from 1:30 - 4:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce candidates to the selection process, fundamental TL/ATL duties and expectations, and TL/ATL benefits such as discounts and lifts. Candidates will have an opportunity to meet other candidates with whom they may be working together as a TL/ATL pair, as well as members of the Selection Committee.

Serving as a TL or ATL is a challenging and rewarding experience and can be a lot of fun. If you are considering applying to be a TL or ATL primarily for the discount benefits, please do not apply. We need candidates that are motivated by a commitment to our members and interested in running a great ski trip. We will have a significant training program for the 2025 leaders so that leaders will have the information and encouragement they need to succeed.

We have an aggressive timeline for TL/ATL selection this year in order to allow leaders and members to make informed decisions on early purchase of Epic and Ikon pass products.
