Snow School

Organisational Chart and Leadership Team

In the winter, each General Manager has a team of Managers and Supervisors that work out of 4 main bases: Blackcomb Base, Base 2 on Blackcomb, Whistler Village, and Creekside Base.

When you are hired, you are hired as part of one or more “Pods”. Each “pod” reports to a supervisor and is located at one of the bases or in the adult groups case it may report out of the top of Whistler or Blackcomb mountains. Check out your managers & supervisors' bios below!
