The ski season is a wrap except for Big Snow and Timberline
Well, there are still two areas still open today, June 7th, in North America. They are Timberline, and Big Snow. For practicality, we will call it a wrap on the 20/21 season. I will declare it a season of challenge, perseverance, innovation, and sacrifice—many lessons learned. Let’s look forward to a summer close to normal and an upcoming ski season with plenty of snow, open lodges, and good experiences for all, guests and staff. You are the ones who are in charge of those good experiences.
A bit of egg on my face since I promised that the new MountainOffice mobile app and operation logbook would be launched during May in the April Steep Newsletter. The expectation was that the launch would be in May, but SEC Gmbh, the developer, in reviewing, found items they wished to improve and features they wanted to add to enhance the utility in the first version. The excellent news is that Steep can now demo the workings of the Ops Log and the new mobile app. Give us a call, I think you will be quite surprised with what you see.
This month I am again sharing input on meetings; those pain in the butt time sucks. But, could we do our job without them? I am also posting an article about drone usage in the French Alps, which indicates to me that there will be more drone usage in North America in the upcoming winters.
