Reno Runner

Sugar Bowl Resort is seeking a dependable, road-savvy, and service-minded Reno Runner to take the pressure off our departments by handling pickups away from the resort. As the name says, you’ll “run to Reno,” along with Truckee and North Lake Tahoe, in a company vehicle to shop for, pick up, and deliver the items our department heads request. You’ll stay ready for winter roads, from clearing snow and ice and putting on chains,, keeping your department manager in the loop on your daily duties, and process the bills and paperwork that come with each errand. If you’re a confident winter driver who takes pride in being the reason our teams have what they need, when they need it, we’d love to have you on board.

Why Sugar Bowl?

Sugar Bowl Resort has been proudly independent for over 80 years and is one of the oldest ski resorts in California.
