Ticket Checker

Overview

Do you love being on the mountain and sharing that stoke with others? Ticket Checkers are the friendly faces guests interact with as they navigate lift lines, base areas, and terrain across Big Sky. In this outdoor role, you’ll be responsible for scanning lift access, managing lines, sharing mountain info, and helping guests have a smooth, enjoyable day.
