- Document and track training to support liability coverage, risk management and consistent training for everyone on your team, including Spanish speakers.
- Train mid-season hires without pulling high-value supervisor-trainers away from their posts peak season.
What your employees will learn in Ski Lift Operations
Through a series of self-paced online learning modules, your employees gain essential skills from topics covering:
- How a ski resort works
- Introduction to lift operations
- Guest services, ticket checking and other key responsibilities

To allow for comprehensive employee training, a new feature now allows managers to add resort-specific, custom content to the training modules. Your team gets an all-inclusive training, all in one place.
Upon completion, participants will receive an OSU-backed credential to verify compliance. The badge, specific to the learner, can be displayed on social media such as LinkedIn, or added to a résumé.
