Missy Young Named to SAM Magazine's 10 Under 30
We’re pleased to announce that Mt. Hood Meadows Assistant Lift Operations Manager Missy Young has landed on Ski Area Management (SAM) Magazine’s prestigious annual “10 Under 30” list, highlighting the “thinkers, tinkerers, and hard workers” that represent the future (and current) leaders of the snowsports industry.
Young, 25, grew up in Oregon and entered the snowsports industry at age 14 when she became a ski instructor at Hoodoo Ski Area after completing the resort’s Mountain Cadet program. She started at Meadows as a lift attendant in 2020 and within two months, was promoted to supervisor. In January of this year, Young became the assistant lift ops manager at Meadows.
