Assistant Manager: Ski Patrol - Hourly
OTHR$27–$35.2/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Intro paragraph: "Create Your Experience of a Lifetime! Come work and play in the mountains! ..." This is like a description. Could be under a heading? Not specified. Probably we can put as
intro.
- Benefits: many bullet points: free pass(es), free ski and snowboard lessons, 40% retail discounts, chance to grow through Epic Service, wellness benefits, etc. Also later: Employee Benefits Ski/Mountain Perks! Free passes for employees, employee discounted lift tickets for friends and family AND free ski lessons MORE employee discounts on lodging, food, gear, and mountain shuttles 401(k) Retirement Plan Employee Assistance Program Excellent training and professional development Referral Program
We need to include Benefits section only if posting has real specific content. It does. So
Benefits
with
- items.
- Pay: posting includes Starting Wage: $27.00/hr - $35.20/hr and later "The expected pay range is $27.00/hr - $35.20/hr." So we have pay info. Should include
Pay
with maybe.
- Schedule: mentions "Winter Seasonal 2026/2027", "Full Time hours available", "Hiring for our seasonal positions occurs on a rolling basis. Applications will be accepted until December 15th or until the positions are filled (whichever is first)." That's schedule info (seasonal, full time). So we can include
Schedule
with details.
- Responsibilities: there is a big section "Job Responsibilities" with subheadings Culture, Operations, Communications, Legal, Other. We need to output as Responsibilities
with - items capturing duties. Should we break into sub-sections? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So only top-level sections. Within Responsibilities we can have list items, possibly with sub-bullets? But we can just list each duty as
- . Might be long but okay.
- Requirements: there is "Job Requirements" with bullet points: High School Degree or equivalent; Must have at least 5 years of patrol or similar experience; Must have current EMT or OEC certification based on minimum resort requirements; Knowledge of patrol including: medical, scheduling, weather, training, snowmobile, accident investigation, lift evacuation, and slope safety; Effective decision making skills; Working computer knowledge of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint; Must be proficient in communication in English-speaking, writing and comprehension; Must be a minimum of 21 years of age
Also there is "Job Specifications" includes Starting Wage, Employment Type, Shift Type, Minimum Age, Housing Availability. Some of those overlap with Requirements (minimum age). We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll combine into Requirements section.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements. We'll just have Requirements.
- Skills: maybe not separate; we can embed.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO statement, legal disclaimer about redacting age, etc. Remove those lines.
Also remove duplicated lines: e.g., "The expected pay range is $27.00/hr - $35.20/hr." appears twice; we keep once.
Also remove "Job Summary To Learn More, please review the Benefits Eligibility Summary" maybe not needed.
Also remove "Reference Date: 09/13/2026 Job Code Function: Ski Patrol" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
About the Role
maybe? The intro paragraph could be under About the role. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role.
Thus:

We need to put these as list items. Might be many; okay.
Requirements:
From Job Requirements and Job Specifications:
- High School Degree or equivalent
- Minimum age: at least 18 years of age (but later says Must be a minimum of 21 years of age in Requirements; we need to keep both? Actually Job Specifications says Minimum Age: At least 18 years of age. Job Requirements says Must be a minimum of 21 years of age. Conflict; we must preserve both as they appear. We'll list both.
- Must have at least 5 years of patrol or similar experience
- Must have current EMT or OEC certification based on minimum resort requirements
- Knowledge of patrol including: medical, scheduling, weather, training, snowmobile, accident investigation, lift evacuation, and slope safety
- Effective decision making skills
- Working computer knowledge of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint
- Must be proficient in communication in English-speaking, writing and comprehension
- Employment Type: Winter Seasonal 2026/2027 (but we already have schedule)
- Shift Type: Full Time hours available (schedule)
- Housing Availability: No (maybe include as note)
- Starting Wage: $27.00/hr - $35.20/hr (pay)
But we already have pay and schedule sections; we can still include these in Requirements if not duplicated? Might be duplication. Better to keep them only in Pay/Schedule sections and not repeat. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep them in both places but might be considered duplication. Safer to include them only in relevant sections (Pay, Schedule) and not repeat in Requirements. But the Requirements section should still contain the other requirements: education, experience, certification, knowledge, skills, age (maybe we choose the higher age 21 as requirement, but we also have 18 from spec; we could note both). To avoid duplication, we can mention age requirement as "Must be at least 21 years of age (minimum age per posting is 18)". But that's interpreting. Better to list both as separate items: "Minimum age: at least 18 years of age (per job specifications)" and "Must be a minimum of 21 years of age (per job requirements)". That preserves both.
Also include "Housing Availability: No" maybe as a note under Requirements or Schedule? Could
