Bridger Ski Foundation Seeks Alpine Program Director

Bozeman, Montana | Full-Time (Seasonal with Year-Round Potential)

The Bridger Ski Foundation (BSF) is seeking an experienced and passionate leader to guide its Alpine program into the 2026–27 season. This is a unique opportunity to take the helm of a well-established program within one of the most respected ski communities in North America.

BSF is looking for a coach who believes in developing athletes holistically—on and off the hill—and who views sport as a powerful platform for personal growth. The ideal candidate will bring strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills, along with a deep commitment to long-term athlete development.

About the Role

The Alpine Program Director will oversee all aspects of BSF’s Alpine racing program, working closely with the Executive Director, Board of Directors, coaching staff, and broader BSF community. This role blends leadership, coaching, program development, and operational management.

• Organize races, camps, and training events, including volunteer coordination
• Maintain strong relationships with Bridger Bowl and other training venues
