Mike-Wiegele-Helicopter-Skiing

worked housekeeping, job itself isn't too hard and u can manage quite easily, although the staff are extremely under pressure, and under trained with supervisors and a manager with poor communication skills constantly . you were given no thanks for the above and beyond work u do, and the gossip and drama within the department was a LOT to deal with! best part of the job was working co-workers who made the day survivable, and the free meal a day at the restaurant. I would choose another department if you decide to work at Mike Wiegele, I would definitely not recommend housekeeping unless things change.

Multi seasonal employee that left due to horrible management in the housekeeping department. Manager there is extremely toxic and treats staff badly. Not qualified for the position in my opinion. It’s been an ongoing concern for years with this particular manager but yet nothing seems to get done about the situation . Extremely disappointing and frustrating because I did love my job and the people there (for the most part). All other departments seemed to be happier than the housekeeping team so maybe working in one of those wouldn’t be so bad. 

If you're in Canada for a Working Holiday, you're a good skier and would like to experience Heli Skiing, then this is the place to be. I worked in Housekeeping/Janitorial (we were 3 Janitors in total) and were responsible for 3 main buildings to clean. Early start at 5:00-5:30am until 1:30-2:00pm - 5 days a week. Cleaning was very monotonous, however the free heli skiing made up for it. Had the chance to go heli skiing 8 times, some staff went even 15 times this season. Other perks for staff was free gym, spa, sauna, hot tub, games room, free winter equipment rental for in town.

What is the best part of working at the company?
So many perks and great management and staff!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is a lot of support from management therefore everything is manageable.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is definitely family in a kind way as we all know real families can be stressful.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is well balanced work and play.

Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing has a good working environment, which allows employees to work both independently and in a team. I learned new housekeeping skills. Each day I would clean rooms either by myself or with another individual, after cleaning the rooms our managers would check our work and point out any mistakes that we may have made. The job itself wasn't hard and the most enjoyable aspect of it was the people, upbeat and energetic individuals

Working for Mike Wiegele was truly an honor, Mike has a true passion for what he does.  Because of his passion for the heli ski business this really tumbles down through out the company and you work with like minded people.  If you enjoy the ski industry and weant to learn from one of the best in the business, Mike Wiegele's is the place to be.

I worked in the Sport Shop and Boutique, the pay was a bit better than other jobs in that bracket however living in Blue River is very remote (this was expected) and the perks do not outweigh the negatives. Compared with other lodges the amount of riding is very low, I was one of the best riders and I rode 8 days.  The guests expect a lot and the staff are not treated with enough respect.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free skiing, discounted meals and accommodation. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
High stress on arrival and departure  days

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Deteriorating. New ownership 
and new management only concerned about the bottom line

Depending on your department & your colleagues you can have an amazing time there. If you are into skiing, you will love the winter. 
Jobs might be very repetitive but with the right people that's not a big thing. 
Some of the staff housings are pretty good and they offer a lot of staff perks. 

seasonal work. very demanding job that pushes its employees to the limit. 
great perks if you are into winter sports. 
small remote town can be draining if you need more amentities in your free time. 
2 seasons.
