Lots of miss communication , wrong information going around with multiple morning meetings.
Low score due to the out of state restriction as it doesn't make any sense what so ever.
We were told during town hall meetings that there would be a cap of guests, that cap went right out the window the very first weekend, as if covid isn't even a thing.
The new sahale sundeck is FILLED with people. So tightly packed that there is absolutely no way you can maintain 6 feet of separation. On top of not being able to stay distant, most aren't even masked because "they're eating".
But apparently after all that, employees are an issue and can't travel out of state. At the same time, meadows is allowing guests from as far as new york to have a hayday at the bottom of MHX along with 1200 other people.
I'm sure many have already made plans that they can't get refunds for, and don't have sick/vacation time available. So how are we supposed to just accept this last minute demand when money is already so tight?
My suggestion is, don't threaten employees with disciplinary action for traveling to Washington while at the same time allowing guests from as far away as new york to ride, allowing high concentration of guests in sahale, and throwing our visitor cap right out the window. Practice what you preach.
Better communication between the leads.
It's really discouraging to work really hard around the list to ensure that the mask policies are being respected and then to go to the parking lot where people are tailgating in groups and the majority of guests aren't wearing masks and it's not being enforced by parking or security
I was amazed by our guest jumping in to help find and then start extraction of a fellow rider in a snow burial. The response was immediate. Information was relayed back up that directly lead the Ski Patrol to the individual. One of those moments where my faith in mankind is restored. Strangers working so well and so rapidly with life saving success.
Our concern for guest and each other pays back. From all of us, guest and employees, reminding each other to mask up to understanding the extreme environments we play in.
Working environment is great! I really love coming to work, the OIC’s have been doing an awesome job training and showing not just me, but also other employees how and what to do in certain situations to make the day go by smoother. Two HUGE shoutouts I want to give out are Heidi (OIC for Easy Rider) and Chad (OIC for MHX) because they’ve helped me improve how I do my job in the best ways possible. Whether it be helping with checklists, gate issues, lift issues etc, they’ve helped me the most.
Chad and Heidi both rock. Both of them have stepped so much during this challenging season and our team is lucky to have them as leaders.

LOVE MY JOB AND LOVE THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH WE HAVE A STRONG TEAM AND I LOVE ITTT!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just want to give a shootout to Roy from ski school for stepping in and doing maze control. I understand sometimes the request comes down the grapevine but I have personally witnessed him jump in and help out on his own accord. Nothing screams team player like someone willing to drop the skiing they were about to do to stay and help direct traffic. #integrity
Roy has been spectacular this season but the entirely of the MLC team deserves recognition for their efforts this season. This has been a challenging season and the MLC on a daily basis is coming out and helping us. They have proven and demonstrated more than anyone that we are all on the same team and working towards the same goals and the support they have provided this season has been invaluable.

We think you are the best
We love the company atmosphere
I think working at Meadows is ideal
Is it possible if we could meet sometime
I was wondering what it was all about
To be driver certified
Shahale has a great kitchen staff
Non communication from management on the flow of parking. Then management shared frustration but no solution to the problem. Which created more confusion for the rest of the shift
