Staff Leaving

[Tightline]

Does anyone know why the Marketing Director and Ski School Director left Saddleback? Have any other key players left? Seems odd to me that they would leave after only being at the mountain 1 season.

Also looks like they need a VP of finace!

Rode Skyline with the aforementioned Saddleback ski school director's mother the other day. She (the director) was told to "shut up" and that nobody wanted her opinion, by upper management. This is the same old-boy management from before the closure. Around 10 other female director/middle-management staff have left for the same reason. The director was recruited from SL and is now back at SL.

Enjoy Saddleback while you can, sounds like they are going to run it into the ground again. What backwoods morons.

Probably a little truth there but also from a very biased side of the story........will see how it all plays out.

That doesn't fit the vibe and culture there at all...

Only major position listed as open now is Senior VP of Finance. The others are the usual openings that every ski area has - patrol, lift ops & maint, snowmaking, ski school, bartender, cook, cashier, dishwasher, etc.

Did they all leave at once or is this over the last several years? Clearly they have an issue if true, but that seems like a lot of directors and middle management (assuming there are some males in the mix as well) for the size of the business.

Just heard the same thing tonight from a second woman who went to work at Saddleback last year and came back to Sugarloaf for the same reasons.

4 Ski Patrollers have left Sugarloaf in the past 2 weeks to go to Saddleback

Saddleback pays more

Saddleback pays more

For now. Is it enough to offset the gas spent on that commute?
