The three day/two night trip on February 4, 5 and 6 is the perfect way to get out of the park and hit the slopes.  From Mammoth and Snow Lodge, we meet in West Yellowstone and then head to the resort.  At the cozy resort you’ll find an outdoor hot tub and heated swimming pool, an exercise facility, several different dining options and of course some of the best powder in the Lower 48!

The trip cost includes transportation from your location, two nights lodging in the Teewinot Lodge and a full day ski pass on the 5th.  Ski/snowboard rentals are not included.

ORDER HERE

• You will need to pay via credit or debit card. 
• The FINAL order deadline is February 4. 
• Your shirts should arrive approximately one week after the order deadline. 
• If you do not have access to reliable internet or wifi, you can stop by your location recreation office during office hours and use their computer to order.

These shirts will be shipped DIRECTLY to Yellowstone and we will not deliver them elsewhere.  So if you do not currently work in the park and you order a shirt, you will NOT receive it.

Here are the winners of the 2019 Summer Employee Photo Contest! As always, we thank everyone who entered photos as well as those who came out to vote on your favorites. We had over 250 entries this summer and over 300 employees came out to vote on their favorites. There are so many talented people in the park and we love being able to showcase a very small slice of that talent.
