Here at Sky-Hi News, we punch above our weight, producing award-winning, impactful journalism that seeks to hold authority accountable and strengthen the bonds of our communities. We live to tell the story of Grand County, where outdoor enthusiasts come to ski, snowboard, mountain bike, backpack, trail run, rock climb, raft, kayak, sail, paddleboard, fish, hunt, camp — need we go on? We're looking for an adventurous spirit with a love for the outdoors and mountain towns.
We are looking for someone who likes to work hard and play hard — a mature, ambitious reporter who can write about the things locals and visitors want to know about: new businesses, events and the environment, while also asking top community leaders tough questions to act as a watchdog for five towns in Grand County (Granby, Fraser, Winter Park, Kremmling and Grand Lake).

• Generate seven stories per week.
• Take photos and videos.
• Demonstrate effective use of social media tools to source stories and cover trending news.
• Work with community leaders/figures as well as other newsroom staff.
