Conversation with Emily Stanton

Posted on by NYSkiBlog

Recently, we spoke with Emily Stanton, Marketing Manager, and Mike Pratt, General Manager, about Gore Mountain. Part One, with Emily, is the first of a two part conversation with Gore management.

NYSkiBlog: Emily … thanks for giving me time today. I really appreciate it. If it’s OK with you, I’d like to ask you a few questions to get an idea about who you are. After that, I’d like to move into some of the issues of the day. Some of the questions are mine, and some are from the readers of NYSkiBlog.

Conversation with Emily and Mike

Posted on by Harvey

I had a chance to sit with Emily Stanton and Mike Pratt of Gore Mountain for an hour, on Monday January 4, 2010. We covered a wide range of topics including first tracks, epic dumps, snowmaking, grooming, parking, and the future of Gore.

In the next few days, NYSkiBlog will be publishing a piece that highlights some of that conversation.

We tried to cover the issues I think that matter most to Gore regulars and passholders. Time was limited, so both Emily and Mike agreed to answer a few more follow up questions by email.

If you have a question you’d like me to ask please post a comment on this entry before 5pm, Wednesday January 6. We’ll do our best, but no guarantees all questions will be posed/answered.
