Camelback Resort and Blue Mountain Resort are both looking to stock up on workers for the upcoming ski season with multiple career fairs this fall.

According to a release from the resort, Camelback is looking for job seekers "with a sense of adventure" to fill around 200 positions for the upcoming ski season, including snowmaking and grooming, lift operations, snow tubing, culinary roles and more.

Blue Mountain is also looking out for plenty of workers — their website currently lists 48 open opportunities — for the season debut of a new high-speed six-person lift, Main Street Express, which will improve the connectivity between Valley Lodge and Summit Lodge, and improve access to the terrain on the western part of the mountain, carrying 2,400 guests per hour. On top of that, Blue Mountain has added a new groomer and continued automation of their snowmaking system for the season.
