VAIL RESORTS HAS A ZERO TOLERANCEDRUG USE POLICY THAT ALSO APPLIES TO EMPLOYEE HOUSING. For more information about housing, please contact your Manager.

Employees’ behaviors and conduct while occupying employee housing directly affect their job status and their

eligibility to live in employee housing. Infractions of housing policies may lead to eviction and termination of

employment. Loss of employment equals loss of housing.

Most housing options come furnished and with basic kitchen appliances. However you will need to provide: • Dishes (plates, bowls, cups, glasses) • Utensils (spoons, forks, knives, can opener, and larger utensils) • Pots and pans, general kitchen supplies • Bedding • Towels • Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins) • Cleaning supplies

Housing in the Community There are many options in the surrounding communities for housing.

For a list of available rentals visit: www.summitdaily.com or http://rockies.craigslist.org/ (High Rockies)

Please note, it can be difficult to find local housing which allows pets. Plan to spend extra time looking for housing, and extra money on deposits or rent if you are bringing your dog or cat.
