We need to preserve all substantive information. Not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar info.
Let's extract sections:

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". Also earlier they mention free pass(es), free ski and snowboard lessons, 40% retail discounts, Epic Service training, wellness benefits. Also "free pass(es) along with free ski and snowboard lessons, 40% retail discounts". Also "free ski lessons". Also "MORE employee discounts on lodging, food, gear, and mountain shuttles". Also "401(k) Retirement Plan", "Employee Assistance Program", "Excellent training and professional development", "Referral Program". Also maybe "wellness benefits". We'll combine into a list.

Role: "A Retail Associate is a flexible employee who often works across multiple departments and in various roles which could include one of the following: Retail Rental operations Ski sales and retail support Retail sales"
Pay: Starting Wage: $20/hr; Expected pay range: $20.00/hr. We can combine.
Schedule: Employment Type: Winter Seasonal 2026/2027; Shift Type: Full Time and Part Time.
We need to avoid duplication: Starting Wage appears both in Job Specifications and Pay; we can keep in Pay section and maybe not repeat in Job Specifications? But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep it in both places but better to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but we should avoid redundant headings? It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could merge Job Specifications and Pay and Schedule into one section? But they want headings for specific sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They said use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should include those headings only if content exists. We can have About the role (intro), Benefits, Job Summary maybe as About the role? Actually Job Summary could be part of About the role. But we have separate sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Qualifications/Skills not present; we can omit.
We need to include all substantive info. Let's structure:

We could also include Minimum Age and Housing Availability under Schedule or maybe under Job Specifications but we placed them in Schedule.
Check that we haven't missed any details: The intro also mentions "free pass(es) along with free ski and snowboard lessons, 40% retail discounts, the chance to grow through Epic Service - our leading training and development experience, and wellness benefits to fuel your success." Those are benefits; we included them in Benefits list.
Also "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 application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove that sentence. Good.
Also "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'll list each as separate li.

Also "Role A Retail Associate is a flexible employee who often works across multiple departments and in various roles which could include one of the following: Retail Rental operations Ski sales and retail support Retail sales". This could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like Role but not in headings list. Could be included in About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? It's more about role description. We could incorporate into About the role paragraph.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will not include Qualifications, Skills.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO statements, Vail Resorts is an equal opportunity employer, etc. Remove.
Also remove "In completing this application, and when submitting related documentation, applicants may redact information that identifies their age, date of birth, and/or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution." That's application instruction/legal; remove.
Also remove "We follow all federal, state, and local laws including restrictions on child/minor labor. Minors hired into this position will not be asked or permitted to engage in any activities restricted to adult workers." That's legal; remove.
Also remove "Vail Resorts is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status or any other status protected by applicable law." Remove.
Also remove "Requisition ID 517457 Reference Date: 08/19/2026 Job Code Function: Retail Ops". Remove.
