Summit Series Preview - Welcome to PodSAM

Listen and learn.

PodSAM will be launching with a six episode run derived from SAM's (Ski Area Management) Summit Series, which brought together industry leaders via conference call to share best practices and stories from their careers with an audience of up and comers. 

There will likely be future PodSAM audio series on this channel over the months and years, so be sure to subscribe. For the spring and summer of 2018 we’ll be hearing from John Rice, General Manager of Sierra at Tahoe, Blaise Carrig, Senior Advisor of Vail Resorts Mountain Division, Jody Churich, Executive VP at Powdr Corp and Woodward, Bill Jensen, CEO and Partner at Telluride, Barb Green, President of Blue Mountain, and Kris Blomback, GM at Pats Peak.

These conversations moderated by Paul Thallner of High Peaks Group provide a rare deep dive inside the minds of some of the most experienced players in ski area operation. Topics include management skills, problem solving techniques, finance, capital planning and risk. 

The first full episode of PodSAM is slated to be published a week prior to the NSAA Convention. We’ll drop new episodes after that throughout the spring and summer.

The launch of PodSAM is in partnership with Alex Kaufman of the Wintry Mix Podcast. Theme music is by Breakmaster Cylinder. Share this with a colleague, subscribe where you get pods, visit saminfo.com for details on the Summit Series and thanks for tuning in.
