Employee Housing

Employee Housing

Our Employee housing is extremely limited, and it is prioritized by position worked. Fewer than 20% of resort employees live in our employee housing units. Most employees make housing arrangements independentlyin the small towns in the area, including Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, and Granby. This information if provided as a general guide to new employees. If you’re thinking of relocating to the Winter Park area, securing housing should be a top priority. Don’t have a car? Don’t worry. There is free public transportation via the Lift Bus transit system.

How do I begin the process of securing Employee Housing?

If you are offered and accept a full-time (seasonal or year-round) position, ask your hiring manager about Employee Housing availability. If the hiring department can offer a housing slot, they will be able to provide a housing application form. Housing agreements are offered season-to-season following approval from department manager and Employee Housing Department. Hiring managers, along with Human Resources may have a list of leads to help temporary residents find affordable housing options. If Employee Housing is full, we recommend checking for local housing options using the sources listed at the end of this page.
