work where the ride begins

Experienced hosts who want ownership of an area, not just a group. You’ll be accountable for something specific being good — not just for showing up.

• **Own a department** of the guest experience — ⟦social activities / dining and restaurants / off-days and excursions — assigned per trip⟧
• Plan that department end to end for the trip
• Oversee Trainee Hosts and Hosts on-slope through paired structures
• Feed into progression assessments for trainees in your area
• Lead a riding group independently, matched to your level and the terrain
• Own the day-to-day guest experience for your group
• Support and set the example for Trainee Hosts/ Hosts paired with you
• Proactive support for the riding team – spotting what’s needed before you’re asked
• Make on-mountain calls: conditions, group ability, when to push and when to stop
• Work together with the rest of the team to plan the itinerary around the weather conditions for the week

• Track record: proven Host-level delivery across at least one full block.
• Riding: ⟦minimum standard: e.g. confident off-piste, able to manage a group in variable conditions and low visibility⟧
• Operational competency: planning and managing teams to handle rentals, attendance, guest groupings and rooming flawlessly
• Social: guest cohesion, reading a room, noticing the person having a bad day who hasn’t said so – and bringing them into the fold, breaking the ice
• Bonus: riding footage with your application is optional and materially helps
• Able to commit to 3 weeks at minimum

• Monthly remuneration, pro-rated to time completed (min. 3 weeks)
• Accommodation for the trip duration (decided by us)
• Lift pass for the trip duration
• Meals, location dependent
• Travel insurance
• Subsidy for flights
• Pre-trip training block
• Access to gear deals and team discounts on wax & tune services
• Allowed to use private cars during day offs (decided by lead host)
• All of the above for recce week (prior to guests arriving): Every new team member does a 3–5 day Reccee for pre-trip training and team-building block — the TRS service standard, scenario handling (guest fatigue, cash-flow uncertainty, group splits), riding-group management, and how we actually work together. This is mandatory when selecting your dates, so please factor it in.

• Unsubsidised portion of flights and train tickets to location (if any)
• Personal equipment
• Personal & meal expenses

• Lead Host requires full-trip accountability: schedule, mountain planning, on-the-ground finances, and vendor relationships. It’s a step up in exposure, not just scope — the trip is yours when things go wrong, not only when they go right.
• Assessed in the same ~5-week blocks, on the trips you’ve run departments for.
• If you commit less than 5 weeks for the upcoming season as a Senior Host, we may not be able to fully assess your ability and suitability to be promoted to Lead Host for the following season

• Application form: pick the track that fits you (new applicant, or experienced host/instructor). Riding footage is *compulsory* if you have never been on a TRS trip/ camp before.
• Expectations call (30 min): what the role actually is, what the pay actually is, what you’re actually after. Either side can say “this isn’t it”, no hard feelings.
• Group interview: a real activity with other candidates and our team. We’re watching how you operate around people, because that’s most of the job. Peer feedback counts.
  Selection: the hiring team reviews you against the role and the season’s team balance, with the peer assessment from stage 3 factored in.
• Final selection: role, level, location and terms confirmed
• Everyone who applies hears back from us once all rounds are closed: accepted, deferred, or not this season. Where we can be useful, we’ll tell you what would change the answer next time.

Placement is decided by us on your level, the location’s difficulty, and team balance. Places are limited by trip capacity and we build teams around level and group balance. State a preference in the application form and we will take that into consideration.

• Applications open: 23 August 2026
• Applications close: 10 September 2026
• Interviews will begin from 11 September onwards
