Our mechanics (we currently have 4) are not just any old Technicians or Apprentices. They are great puzzle solvers, with a passion for the ski industry who can field service a vast array of equipment spread across our two operations here in the Kootenays.
Our mechanics are responsible for the repair and maintenance of our fleet of 13 snowcats, 5 generators, 15 snowmobiles, 4 side-by-sides, 4 passenger vehicles, and 2 boats as well as bringing knowledge and experience to all our mobile equipment needs.

Intermediate to advanced knowledge of heavy-duty mobile equipment, snowcats, generators, off-grid electrical systems, snowmobiles, side-by-sides, trucks and boats is key to succeeding in this role.
Skills at getting machines unstuck or repaired in the field with limited resources and in a safe and timely fashion will have people slapping your back and wanting to buy you beers at the end of the day.
