Want to Ski, Hike, Bike.. Write?
We’re looking for a full-time position but if you are a freelancer and have great story ideas, strong clips and are interested, let us know too:
Assistant Editor/Associate Editor | Vermont Sports and VT Ski + Ride Magazines
Vermont Ski + Ride Magazine (recently named one of the top three specialty publications in New England) and Vermont Sports Magazine are looking for a full-time assistant or associate editor, to be based in our Middlebury, Vermont offices. The magazines are part of the Addison Press group of media. Title will be based on your experience.
This job is perfect for you if …
You work hard, play hard and love the outdoors. You’re a budding journalist, social media boss and digital wiz. You know all about the Oxford comma, how to interview and where to find a great story. You ski or ride, run or bike and are totally dialed in to the outdoor community.
You like to work as a team but also work well independently and have a great, can-do attitude and strong work ethic. And you can find the typos and grammatical mistakes in this post (that’s a challenge!).
Most of all, you are a superb storyteller and writer.
If that’s you, then this job could be yours. It comes with free skiing, a chance to travel around the state, test gear, write features, post video and much more. You will write features and have the opportunity to contribute news stories to the award-winning Addison Independent newspaper as well.

- Business experience growing social media channels
- Knowledge of InDesign, WordPress and Mailchimp a plus
- Proofreading and copyediting
