A few of us were able to attend the NSAA Winter Conference at Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah.  The National Ski Areas Association is made up of over 300 ski areas across the nation and hosts this event at different resorts each winter season.  There were two days of educational sessions that covered a variety of pertinent ski industry topics along with some moments to meet with industry partners and leaders from other resorts.  It’s always enlightening to learn how other ski area leaders are handling the various operating challenges that we all face. In addition to these indoor sessions, we had a few hours set aside each day to get out on the mountain at both Snowbird and Alta.  While it’s fun to visit some of the other big areas out there, it’s always feels nice to call Monarch our home mountain.
