GABE HODGE

In June, Copper’s own Gabe Hodge was named the 2023 Snowmaker of the Year at the Colorado Ski Country USA Double Diamond Awards. Gabe joined the snowmaking team at Copper Mountain during the pandemic and has since embraced every challenge that comes his way. Working the weekend day shift has allowed him to work closely with Colorado Mountain College students, which he finds rewarding. Gabe loves teaching and sharing his knowledge, helping students develop their skills and encouraging their own love for snowmaking. His dedication and enthusiasm have made him a valued member of the Copper Mountain team and a deserving recipient of the CSCUSA Snowmaker of the Year Award.
