Careers

It takes a fine kind of individual to love and live at Browns. We are extremely picky, and rightly so. This is our livelihood; we don’t know what else to do! Browns Ski Shop today is a result of the hard work of those fine Jedi warriors that have gone before us. Will the Browns Ski Shop of tomorrow be shaped by you?

We are fully staffed for Winter 2024, but should you wish to apply 'just in case' you can do so via the link below.
