Sky Line Lodge was established during the summer of 1945 in the historic town of Platoro, Colorado. We operate as a fishing lodge with 25 historic cabins and a full-service restaurant. Sky Line Lodge is open daily, seven days a week, catering to traffic from our guests as well as tourists visiting the area.
We are in search of individuals to be a part of our kitchen team for the 2024 season starting in mid-late May through October. Work expectations will be 5 days a week and 6-10 hours per work day. The ideal candidate should enjoy living remotely in a mountainous area and be able to work at an altitude of 10,000ft and handle duties that can be physically demanding. You will be living and working very closely with a small team for these months, so the ability to get along well with others is an important quality.
The kitchen staff carries a high portion of the work duties. Attention to detail, consistency, and timeliness is imperative, as our standards are high. You will mainly be using Fryers and a Flattop Grill to prepare the restaurant meals.
Beyond kitchen duties our seasonal project goals include, but are not limited to, cabin and lodge maintenance; building guest relations; updating lodge and crew facilities; and forest cleanup. Slow periods may require all crew members to participate in these additional tasks.
We do not provide H2B Visa Sponsorships – If you have or can get your VISA and make it to the States we can talk further.
Pay: $16 – $20 per hour
Housing
A dorm-sized bedroom with linens, pillows, and towels, shared bathroom/s, laundry facility, hangout lounge, Wi-Fi, streaming services, and 3 meals a day is provided. No Pets.
A rate of $55 per day will be deducted from pay to cover room and board.
If you have an RV/Camper let us know if you are interested in the position, and would like to work Half-Time or Full-Time, and we can discuss further details about hookups and rates.
