Ski Instructor - Winter 26.27 Seasonal - Full/Part Time
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could contain the introductory paragraph about company culture and mission, plus maybe position summary? But position summary is separate; maybe About the role includes position summary and company intro. We'll put company intro and position summary in About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties.
- Requirements: includes Required Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Working Conditions, Education Requirements? Actually Education Requirements could be under Requirements as well. We'll combine.
- Qualifications: maybe separate from Requirements? But we have both Required Qualifications and Education Requirements; they are similar. Could combine into Qualifications. But we need to follow allowed headings; we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. Let's assign:
Requirements: Physical Requirements, Working Conditions, maybe also "Must be able to access daily schedules..." etc? That's more duty.
Qualifications: Required Qualifications list (including experience, appearance, etc) plus Education Requirements (high school diploma, training, bilingual). We'll keep them separate.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: base hourly pay range.
- Schedule: required holiday dates and mention of weekends/holidays.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
Now craft HTML.

Now Pay
then with pay range: "Steamboat SnowSports School area base hourly pay range: $18.50 - $19.00 per hour". Could also note that actual pay may vary etc but that's boilerplate; we should keep substantive: the range. The extra sentence about actual pay may vary is generic; maybe we can keep but it's not boilerplate? It's still somewhat generic but it's part of posting. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It's okay to include that sentence as part of Pay section. But we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This sentence is not filler; it's explaining variability. I'd include it.
Thus Pay section:
The base hourly pay range below represents the low and high end of the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation's hourly pay range for this position. Actual pay will vary and may be above or below the range based on various factors including but not limited to experience,
