Live. Build. Endure.

An Invitation to Mountain-Minded Athletes & Makers

Elev8150 is not a resort job.
It is not seasonal work.
And it is definitely not for everyone.

We are inviting a very small number of outdoor athletes, builders, and thinkers to live with us on the mountain and help shape the future of Elev8150 from the ground up.

This is an opportunity for people who thrive in extreme environments, who find clarity in hard work, and who understand that real adventure begins where comfort ends.

Who We’re Looking For

We are interested in individuals with backgrounds or deep interest in:

  • Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding

  • Mountain Biking

  • Snowmobiling

  • Mountain & Environmental Science

  • Astronomy & Night-Sky Research

  • Remote systems, mechanics, or field engineering

  • Storytellers & documentarians (Website, YouTube, Social Media)

You don’t need to be an expert in everything — but you do need to be capable, adaptable, and grounded.

The Work

Life at Elev8150 is hands-on and real. Projects may include:

  • Constructing the Earth-Rammed Lodge

  • Building and expanding a tiny house village

  • Equipment maintenance and mechanical repairs

  • Off-grid systems work (power, heat, water, waste)

  • Trail access, snow logistics, and seasonal infrastructure

  • Website development, photography, film, and storytelling

  • Helping document the evolution of Elev8150 for future guests and supporters

This is not “busy work.” Everything you help build will be used, tested, and lived in.

Living Conditions (Read Carefully)

Living at Elev8150 is only one step above camping.

  • Extreme winter conditions

  • Long periods of isolation

  • Limited amenities

  • No quick access to town

  • Weather dictates everything

  • You will be cold, tired, and challenged

If you need constant stimulation, predictable schedules, or modern convenience — this will not work.

But if you can handle discomfort, the experiences can be off the chart:

  • World-class terrain outside the door

  • Night skies untouched by light pollution

  • Silence, space, and purpose

  • Real contribution to something lasting

Physical & Mental Requirements

Because of the environment, this is non-negotiable:

  • You must be extremely physically fit

  • You must be mentally stable, resilient, and self-aware

  • You must be comfortable with isolation and harsh conditions

  • You must communicate clearly and handle stress without drama

  • You must respect risk, boundaries, and the mountain

This is a place where poor judgment can have real consequences — for yourself and for others.

Why We’re Doing This

Elev8150 is being built by people who live here — not contractors who leave at the end of the day.

We believe the strongest mountain communities are formed by:

  • Shared hardship

  • Mutual respect

  • Competence over ego

  • Curiosity over comfort

If you live here, you become part of the story — not just a visitor.

How to Express Interest

We are not running open applications.

If this resonates deeply — not casually — reach out with:

  • A brief introduction

  • Your relevant skills and experience

  • Why this environment makes sense for you

  • What you hope to contribute and learn

This is a selective process by design.

Final Note

Elev8150 rewards those who show up prepared, humble, and capable.

If that’s you, we’d like to hear your story.

 

Helping From Afar

Not everyone who resonates with Elev8150 needs to live on the mountain. We also welcome support from people who want to contribute remotely or in short, targeted bursts. This may include help with website development, writing, video editing, social media, design, research, logistics planning, fundraising support, or technical problem-solving. Others may be able to assist through periodic visits, equipment expertise, or advisory roles. These contributions are just as valuable, and they allow people to be part of the project without the physical and mental demands of full-time life at Elev8150.

If you feel aligned with what we’re building but know that on-site living isn’t the right fit, there is still a place for your skills and perspective.
