Around the world, across all of our resorts, we have employees who are experiencing their own epic journeys. Employees who are the heroes of their own stories, who constantly challenge themselves to give more, to do more, to be more. We developed this podcast so that we can share their journeys – and the journeys of our guests, our mountains, and our communities – all of which are truly epic by nature.

    This episode of Epic By Nature share the story of leadership within our company, and is Rob Katz’s final appearance as our narrator.

But throughout the years they have embraced each chapter, been guided by their leaders and mentors, and leveraged the development programming and stretch opportunities offered at our company – and thrived.

    Ski & Ride for Life

    Right now across our Company, our ski and snowboard instructors – our pros – are opening up our sport and mountains to guests across North America. From child to adult, from beginner to highly-skilled, our pros spend more time with guests than most of us and are therefore uniquely positioned to deliver an Experience of a Lifetime. Ski instructors have had a profound impact on growing my confidence and expanding my ability in the sport and I am excited to share their stories today. How did they find their way to teaching? What tactics and techniques do they use? What credentials do they need? How do they manage the logistics and the business of ski school?
