Behind every great day at Mont Rigaud, there are dozens of team members working hard to make sure our guests have a memorable, stress-free day on the mountain. From the chairlifts to the kitchen, from ski patrol to trail maintenance, these are the teams that keep the mountain running.
Chairlift operators are the mountain's quiet guardians: they greet every skier with the same calm, friendly attitude, whether it's the first or the hundredth of the day. They know just when to slow the lift, the right words to reassure a nervous first-timer, and how to turn a first chairlift ride into an unforgettable memory.
Do you like people? All people? Even the one who shows up at 8:59 a.m. with three kids, two pairs of skis in their arms, and a question about last year's season pass? Perfect, we've got a spot for you. The customer service team is the beating heart of Mont Rigaud: they're the ones who welcome, guide, solve problems, and smile, even on stormy Saturdays when everyone shows up at once. A role for people who genuinely love helping others.
Too big, too small, too old, poorly adjusted: bad equipment can ruin an entire day. The rental team is the one who fixes all that in a few minutes, with a smile. They fit out hundreds of people a day, adjust bindings down to the millimetre, spot uncomfortable boots before the customer even complains, and make sure everyone leaves well-equipped and ready to hit the slopes. A mix of service, technical skill, and common sense.
Because a ski day without hot chocolate is like a trail without snow. The food services team feeds, warms up, and lifts the spirits of hundreds of skiers a day, from the cafeteria to the Bistro to the Snack Shack at the summit. Cooks, counter staff, servers, cashiers: it's a fast, resourceful team that's essential to our visitors' happiness. Spoiler: you're about to become a lot of kids' favourite person!
During the day, they make sure the lodge stays welcoming and comfortable while the mountain buzzes with activity: tables wiped down, trays cleared, spotless washrooms, and every once in a while, a log slipped into the fireplace under the amazed eyes of a few skiers who weren't expecting it. Steady, low-key, and essential work.
Once everyone's gone home, the night crew takes over. Your playlist in your ears, a mop in your hands, and the satisfaction of knowing you're the reason hundreds of visitors start their day off right. Not glamorous? Maybe. Essential and honestly way cooler than people think? Absolutely.
There are people out there who learned to ski or ride a mountain bike thanks to a Mont Rigaud instructor. Some of them have even made it to the Olympics! And they still remember their first turns on the Pente-École at Mont Rigaud. Maybe that was you, once upon a time. Now it's your turn to pass on that thrill.
Instructors at the Ski & Snowboard School and the Bike School are so much more than sport technicians: they're dream weavers, confidence builders, people who turn fear into fun and beginners into diehards.
First responders, keepers of the Code of conduct, first aid experts, and safety ambassadors: Mont Rigaud's patrollers wear a lot of hats. They cover the trails from morning until close, always alert, ready to step in at a moment's notice. Their quiet but reassuring presence is part of the Mont Rigaud experience. A demanding role, for steady people who stay calm under pressure and are deeply committed to keeping others safe.
At 3 a.m., when everyone else is asleep, they're already hard at work. Groomer operators sculpt the trails so the corduroy is perfect by opening time.
In the summer, André's team designs, builds, and maintains the mountain bike trails, turning the forest into a playground. Precision, passion, and pride, all in a day's work.
When a chairlift starts making a strange noise, when a snow gun refuses to cooperate, or when something breaks down at 7 a.m. on a packed Saturday, the mechanical team is who gets the call. Electromechanics, technicians, welders: these folks see the mountain differently. They know every gear, every cable, every valve. Low-key, essential, indispensable. The mountain runs because they make sure everything runs smoothly.
Because days fly by when you love what you do. Here are a few good reasons to join the team:
Forest, fresh air, snowy slopes or wooded bike trails: no matter your role, you get to work in an environment that a lot of people would envy. Even the tough days come with a great view.
Ski, snowboard, mountain bike, or hike: enjoy the mountain on your days off. You work here, you deserve to enjoy it too.
Thanks to the Skiez le Québec program, explore other mountains at great prices. Because one mountain is great. Several is even better.
Perfect for students juggling classes, parents managing a busy schedule, or retirees who want to stay active without overcommitting. We work around you.
Discounts at the cafeteria, the shop, and the rental workshop. Because eating well and gearing up right are all part of the fun.
Mont Rigaud is a small mountain with a big heart. A tight-knit team, a warm atmosphere, coworkers who often become friends. The kind of place you come back to season after season, not just for the paycheque.
We can't wait to welcome you to the team! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at info@montrigaud.com.
