• Bootpacking Application CLOSED

    The application to bootpack for the 2026 season is closed. Thank you all for your interest. Please keep an eye on your email for updates about your hiring status. Here are a few important things to remember about this process:

    • If you are a RETURNING packer, you will be “reactivated” to work by HR in the coming days and are good to go. Remember that you will need your employee number to punch in and out everyday. Reach out to HR (humanresources@aspen.com) if you need help.
    • If you are a NEW HIRE, you will receive a checklist in your email. YOU MUST OPEN THIS WITHIN 24 HOURS OR YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A NEW PASSWORD. This checklist must be completed before you begin work. It will include instructions for the on-boarding process (ID documents required, tax forms, policies, etc.). Once this is submitted, you will need to visit HR to complete the process. There will be HR reps at the ASC Riverside Building (take the elevator or stairs to the 3rd floor) in downtown Basalt, and above the Ticket Office (take the elevator to the top floor) at the base of Highlands available Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm. Please don’t wait until the snow is falling to complete this process.
    • As always, keep an eye on this website for updates and important information leading up to the season.

    Thank you all for you interest! -AHSP
