Rental Repair Technician

The Rental Repair Technician ensures guests receive safe, high-quality rental gear by inspecting, tuning, and repairing skis, snowboards, boots, and bindings. Technicians use guest-provided information to make accurate binding adjustments and perform safety checks before gear goes out. This role also includes maintaining the overall rental fleet — completing regular waxing, tuning, and repairs to keep equipment in top condition throughout the season. Technicians track damaged gear, help rotate or retire old equipment, and ensure everything is ready for the next guest.
