What are the responsibilities and job description for the Retail Shop Technician - Part Time (Backcountry Outlet) position at CSC Generation?
Backcountry Outlet is a new retail division built on a simple idea: expert gear guidance paired with accessible pricing. It’s a place where seasoned skiers, first-time mountain bikers, and families alike can confidently gear up for what’s next. Our stores are powered by Gearheads who live the lifestyle—skiing, riding, hiking, and climbing—and bring that credibility to every customer interaction. This isn’t transactional retail; it’s about connecting people to the right gear, providing expert ski, snowboard, and bike services, and creating a reason to come back.
