As we move through March now is the time to think about next season. I know, the last thing you want to put effort into, but a little time now can make next fall and early winter much easier in terms of staffing and hiring for your seasonal positions.

At this time of year, many of you will be looking at adding significant staff members to support your operations during the winter season. In this time of tight labor supply, the onboarding process deserves a bit more thought and investment of time and effort

The recent ski lift incident in Gudauri, Georgia has certainly gotten plenty of air time and I am sure you have seen various posts about this unfortunate incident.

Staying on message for improving the work life of a lifty, a snowmaker, and all other front line staff at ski areas. I know I have shared this type of information in the past but I don’t think it can be repeated too many times.

Those who are on the ball are deep into thinking about next year and finding a way to fill the many seasonal jobs that will need to be filled to deliver the customer experience the marketing department is out there selling to the public.
