Shuttle drivers work about 4-5 days a week. The work schedule depends on shuttle demands. Our aim is to create a regular work schedule for you where you have the same 2 consecutive days off. Shuttle drivers are often combined with an outfitting role for those that are interested in a more diverse schedule.

Trailhead Shuttle drop-offs are usually slower during the winter months yet past staff have found part-time work through seasonal projects and outfitting.
