Housing

Teton Valley is a great place to live! Our community is close-knit with recreation opportunities just minutes from anywhere in the valley.

What?

3 bedroom, 2 bath condominium units available for Employee Housing. The condominiums are fully furnished and contain a washer/dryer and central vacuum system in each unit. Single and double occupancy (per bedroom) options are available. Each unit will provide housing for 3 to 5 employees.

Where?

Located at Buffalo Junction, 715 Moraine Ct, Driggs, Idaho. Which is 4 Miles North of Driggs.

New this Season!

This winter employees have the opportunity to live in a “quiet condo”.  What this means is that visitors cannot stay past 11pm and all noise in the unit is expected to be kept to a minimum i.e. music, TV and video games.  Employees living in the quiet condos may still have overnight guests.  These guests will be expected to follow the quiet condo rules and all of the other rules set forth in the lease. 

How much?

Prior to move-in the following is required: a $200 non-refundable deposit, non-refundable $25 application fee ($35 if same day move in), and pro-rated rent from move-in date until payroll deductions begin. Upon move-in, the deposit will turn into a refundable damage/cleaning deposit subject to the terms of this lease.

Uniforms

In most cases uniforms are required while working at Grand Targhee Resort. Some office positions may not experience customer contact and therefore, uniform requirements may not apply. However, all administrative staff must keep uniform accessories on hand for those times when customer contact is required.

Grand Targhee Resort provides uniforms to create a consistent, friendly, warm and comfortable look that is easily identified by our guests. We take pride in wearing our uniforms and we are individually responsible for keeping them clean and wrinkle free. While on the job, uniforms and Resort-approved accessories must be worn.

Depending on your position, you may be issued returnable uniform items such as coats, shirts, vests, fleece or pants. Your supervisor will advise you of uniform requirements and the procedures for issue and return of those items. Issued uniforms are to be returned at the end of your employment. You are responsible for the cost of any lost items or items that you do not return. Be sure to check the numbers of the items issued to you, as you are responsible for returning the same items you checked out. Footwear must be safe and appropriate for your job. Flip-flops are not permitted in any position. What is considered appropriate is at the sole discretion of your supervisor.

Supervisors have a complete list of required uniform items by department. Employees in certain departments will be required to provide some uniform items (for example, black pants in winter/black or khaki pants or shorts in summer). Shorts must be a minimum length of 2 inches above the knee. Please contact your supervisor for specifics as requirements do vary by department.

Uniforms are to be worn on duty only. Outer layer uniform items (for example, coats, fleece, vests, etc.) are not to be worn while participating in personal activities on or off resort property. You may be asked to change out of resort issued coats or pants before free skiing or snowboarding, please contact your supervisor for specifics for your department. Uniform items and nametags are absolutely not permitted while socializing in the resort or any other bar or while drinking alcohol or smoking.

NAMETAGS
Nametags play an important role in guest relations and communication. Be sure to wear your nametag at all times when at work. If you lose your nametag, notify your supervisor or Human Resources to request a replacement. Only your correct name, hometown and department will be printed on your nametag.

• For Cause: Vehicle accidents, damage to, or loss or theft of company or guest property valued at $750 or more, and/or involvement in a work-related incident causing injury to self and/or another person requiring medical attention beyond initial first aid.
