Hickory Hills Recreation Area has been owned and operated as a ski area and municipal park by the City of Traverse City since 1952 and has been an iconic natural setting within the Traverse City micropolitan area. Hickory Hills offers 16 runs for skiers and snowboarders, including a bunny hill with a conveyor lift. There are a number of special qualities related to Hickory Hills, but the legacy lies within the hundreds of youth in our area who have grown up on the hill. The memories made at Hickory Hills, learning to ski, spending time with family, and meandering through the snow-covered hills with friends, are shared amongst so many and will last a lifetime. The City’s small, but mighty, hill has served as an authentic sense of home and will continue to do so for generations to come. Additional four-season recreation is offered with an existing hiking trail network and an award-winning Disc Golf course with two 18-hole layouts. This position comes with a free ski pass for the season, and it's a great place to work!
