What's a dirtbag?

In outdoor culture, a dirtbag is someone who prioritizes adventure over comfort. Living out of a van to ski every powder day. Guiding rafts all summer to fund a winter of climbing. Working trail crew because the office is a national forest.

This site is for anyone who'd rather work seasonal jobs in incredible places than sit in a cubicle. No judgment on cubicles — but if you're reading this, you probably already know.

Housing matters

We tag every job with whether housing is provided because it's the #1 thing seasonal workers care about. A job in Jackson Hole means nothing if you can't afford to live there. Look for the 🏠 badge.
