I enjoy the positive vibe Ben Jackson gives every morning with his daily Operational Update Emails. The single sentence he adds at the bottom of each update makes me smile every time I read it! Thank you Ben!!
A gym would be nice
Can we get small cones to set courses on the Carpet or Buttercup for students to turn around? I will sometimes use my poles to set a course and while that works ok, more comes makes for a more fun course. Also, small cones don't fall over and won't get tangled up if skied into.
Thanks for mentioning this. There are 5 or 6 cones at Ballroom Carpet we use for exactly this purpose. If they are not out and being used, please just grab them and put them out on the slope. It does really help having this visual indicators on where to turn - I also find them very useful. In fact, they were out just yesterday and I saw many students and instructors using them. - Tyler, Learning Center Operations & Training Manager
I commented earlier about wanting more bus options on the Sandy side. Even with the mountain closing at 1:00 today we still can't a bus down to the Sandy side before that? It kinda feels like this resort caters to the majority of employees but doesn't really care at all about the employees on the other side of the mountain. Super frustrating and disappointing especially while Meadows preaches 'employees first'
More downhill and uphill options for Sandy side. An early bus would help out so much with both myself and my to comfortably get into work without having to worry about the bus getting us there late because of a mechanical failure, late driver, road conditions, etc. Even a mini shuttle would be amazing!
The snow is finally here, hooray! I love driving in the snow, which is one reason I work at Meadows and am willing to make significantly less money than if I drove for our transportation partner CAT. (I know, totally opposite of most CDL drivers way of thinking)
All that being said it is frustrating to have to drive a vehicle with city street tires that at best, meet the minimum legal tread depth, when our old school buses that where meticulously worked on over the summer have awesome snow tires on them.
The response I get from our
Management Team of "we are working on it " is no longer acceptable, it is time to have the proper tools to do the job!
Happy shoveling everyone!!!
very stoked to be back after the nasty flu that's going around! Nothing really on my radar.
I love what I do for my hood meadows
The bus situation this year will be the reason why it’s my last. I can’t get to work reliably any longer. Please recognize that removing stops in the heights requires employees with no cars to walk over an hour to get to a stop. This is ruining my work experience. Please please please consider adding a stop in the heights again.
There’s no number to call ski patrol any where on our trail map or trail signs. What’s up with that? It says report injures to ski patrol but no way how. Let’s get a number & extension on future versions!
Thanks for your observation and feedback. A direct dial number for MHM patrol has been requested and we are working with our phone service to generate one. Hopefully we can publish a direct number soon.
