Cook 1

Work description

OUR PEAK SKI SEASON, WHICH OCCURS NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL OF EACH YEAR, WE SEE A PEAKLOAD INCREASE IN RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY ON THE MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION TO SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING, GUESTS RIDE OUR LIFTS TO VISIT ON-MOUNTAIN BARS AND RESTAURANTS, FOR DOWN-LOADING AFTER SNOWSHOEING, CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING, AND SIGHTSEEING. THE HIGH VOLUME OF TOURISTS VISITING ASPEN DURING THE MONTHS OF NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF GUESTS VISITING OUR MOUNTAIN RESTAURANTS AND BARS, INCLUDING ULLRHOF, MERRY GO ROUND, BUTTERMILK MOUNTAIN LODGE, TWO CREEKS, LYNN BRITT CABIN, HIGH ALPINE/ALPINE ROOM, SAMS, UP 4 PIZZA, CLOUD 9, CLIFFHOUSE, ELK CAMP, AND SUNDECK. WE THEREFORE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL WORKERS TO ASSIST WITH THE OPERATION OF OUR FOOD AND BEVERAGE PROGRAMS DURING THIS HIGH OCCUPANCY PERIOD AT OUR RESORTS. BECAUSE OF ASPEN'S REMOTE LOCATION AND HIGH COST OF LIVING, IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ASPEN SKIING COMPANY TO FIND THE NECESSARY NUMBER OF TEMPORARY WORKERS TO MEET OUR PEAKLOAD NEEDS. FURTHERMORE, THE SHORTAGE OF TOURISTS DURING THE OFF SEASON, CAUSES A SEVERE DECLINE IN BUSINESS DURING THIS PERIOD. ACCORDINGLY, WE NOW REQUEST CERTIFICATION TO FILL UP TO THIRTY SIX (36) COOK I POSITIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO SUFFICIENTLY MEET OUR TEMPORARY PEAKLOAD STAFFING NEEDS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY MEET OUR COOK NEEDS, WE WILL FIND OURSELVES UNABLE TO SATISFY OUR GUEST'S NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS AND BE UNABLE TO SUSTAIN THE OPERATIONS AND LEVEL OF SERVICE UPON WHICH OUR REPUTATION DEPENDS. THIS WOULD DRASTICALLY IMPAIR OUR REPUTATION AS A FIVE-STAR RESORT AND SKI DESTINATION AND LEAD TO FUTURE LOSSES IN OCCUPANCY AND REVENUE. PER 8 CFR 214.2(H)(H)(6)(II)(B)(3), AND AS THIS INFORMATION CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES, ASPEN SKIING COMPANY LLC HAS A DEFINITE PEAKLOAD NEED FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS DURING THE WINTER.
