🏔️ Chef de Cuisine — On-Mountain Dining, Aspen Snowmass, Winter 26/27

🍽 Opportunity Aspen Skiing Company is hiring a Chef de Cuisine to run one of its on-mountain dining kitchens for the 2026/27 season, based across Aspen and Snowmass Village. This is Aspen — the ski town that lent its name to the whole idea of a glamorous mountain season — with a base salary reaching $75,000 and bonus eligibility on top. 👨‍🍳 Role - Run daily kitchen operations for an on-mountain restaurant serving high-volume lift-access crowds - Manage purchasing, food cost and high-volume production planning - Lead and develop a kitchen team through a full winter season - Apply ServSafe-level food safety standards at altitude and under heavy covers 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Aspen doesn't need the marketing — it's one of the two or three ski towns non-skiers have actually heard of, and running a kitchen there carries real weight on a resume before the employee and dependent ski passes are even factored in. At $65,000–$75,000 plus bonus, this sits above entry-level resort cooking and asks for it in return: five years' management experience and real purchasing chops for high-volume production. It's the kind of season a Sous Chef takes to step up to their first Chef de Cuisine title, in a town where the après-ski is as much a part of the pitch as the job itself. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 7.6/10 ✅ Best Fit - Chefs with 5+ years' management experience ready to hold a Chef de Cuisine title - Those who want Aspen specifically on their resume, not just "a ski resort" - Chefs confident with purchasing, food cost management and high-volume production planning - Sous Chefs looking for the step up to their first Chef de Cuisine season - Skiers and riders who want serious on-mountain time built into a demanding season - US-eligible workers able to commit to a full Winter 26/27 season in Aspen/Snowmass Village
