You will monitor and evaluate performance of staff which includes coaching, counseling and discipline. You should be able to recognize the skill and ability of your staff and delegate appropriately. You will possess extensive knowledge of the complete snowmaking process. Safety is Paramount! Acute personal awareness, prudent judgement, physical fitness, coordination and fortitude are characteristics snowmakers should possess.
