Jordan volunteered to climb towers on Easy Rider and Stadium to install new #9 & #10 Your Responsibility Code signage. Installing lift signage is not a common Patrol task and each lift has different towers that require slightly different installation techniques. He accomplished the task safely.

Katie was tasked to help install Your Responsibility Code signage on Easy Rider. This two person task was accomplished safely and Katie was instrumental in developing the process for the Easy Rider towers.

Comments:
Harris was very helpful in assisting with the install of the new #9 and #10 Your Responsibility Code signs for the Stadium towers. This two person task is not sought after within Patrol and each chairlift's towers need a slightly different solution. Thanks for helping get this undesirable task accomplished.

Michael has been a wonderful trainer for our larger-than-usual group of new hire Safety Hosts. He has demonstrated a welcoming spirit for new folks that reflects so positively on our company and helps to build the feeling that this is truly our mountain home. In addition, he has such an impressive grasp on the MSH job and the knowledge required of our department. Between his positive spirit, his calm demeanor and his superior expertise, he has impressed me in his role of building up our team. I'm grateful for his leadership.

Core Value Recipient: Woody Johnson
Submitted By:Heidi Logosz
Comments:
Woody boxed up all the bulbs and sorted through ballasts and got them ready for hazardous waste disposal. Then staged them to easy access and created a packing list for what's in each box.
This helped us out so much as this was a necessary step to getting rid of these materials and we needed someone to do it. Woody took the time to make this happen.
Thank you Woody!
