Perhaps ski-lift company, to distinguish from an individual operating the ski-lifts?

lift operator


Explanation:
Lift operators assist in the loading, unloading, operation and maintenance of ski lifts at ski operations. They monitor the behaviour of users, ensure that skiers have purchased proper tickets and help to ensure the safety of the area. Work is seasonal, and the hours and length of the season are dependent on snow conditions. This may mean a different opportunity in summer, or possibly a chance to work on the ski hill’s summer crew.
