Staff Spotlight: Diamond Peak Host Program

diamond peak mountain hosts Group Q&A

The Diamond Peak Mountain Hosts are often some of the first folks you’ll encounter at the ski resort, whether that’s in the parking lot, as you’re walking up to the ticket windows, or out on the Base Lodge sundeck. They are also some of the friendliest people you are ever likely to meet. So the next time you’re at the resort, say hi to the folks in green jackets wandering around the base area, especially if you have any questions about the resort. For this edition, we did a group Q&A session, asking each host one question about their experience on the job.

Q: What is the best thing about being a Host?

Gary Faucher: The best part about this job is really the camaraderie of the team and the public that we get to work with. Everyone’s here for fun, and that’s the best part.

Isabelle Carey: The best part about this job is the family feel. We see the same faces year after year, whether that’s within our own team or our guests here at Diamond Peak.

Q: What’s the most common questions you get as a Host?

Bruce Morgan: Probably the most common statement that I hear is, “Why can’t I park there?” Usually they’re talking about the 5 minute loading/unloading zone.

Vince Hourigan: The most common question I get is, “Where’s the ticket booth?” (He says while standing directly in front of the ticket windows.)

Q: What is the strangest question a customer has ever asked you?

James Haverkorn: It was 8:30 a.m. and a woman asked me who she could complain to in order to get the resort to open early because she wanted to go skiing right then.

Q: Why did you choose to become a Mountain Host?

Caribe Hourigan: The reason I picked this job is I wanted to meet new people, and it’s been fun doing that.

Q: In your interactions, where was the customer who traveled the farthest to ski at Diamond Peak from?

Rich Thomas: It would have to be Moscow, Russia.
