They also lost their marketing director (promoted within NH State Parks) a few months ago and haven't announced a replacement yet.

Interesting. He is going to a 1000 vert small area in the middle of nowhere. He must be fed up with the situation here in NE and wants out.
Who knows. He wasn't paid very much for the Cannon job. I believe under 6 figures. Been there many many years. Probably just wanted a change and new challenge.

I knew him when he was operations at Sunday River. I figured he would have made more at Cannon.
It's a state job, so the salary is public. $90,952.50 was his 2022 salary.

I can't imagine that gig pays much more than Cannon. Likely lower cost of living though.

That position has been filled but can’t say more I’m sorry to say.

Maybe money isn’t the object.
That’s me, I’m JD… no need for anyone to speculate. Great rebuild challenge, great mission, great change of scenery, great future prospects, and far better financials. Pretty simple. No slight on anyone. Love my team and family @ FNSP-Cannon, and I’ve loved every minute of my time here. We’ve accomplished a helluva lot together over these 16 years, and now it’s time for me to start on my third 16-year career. As for my replacement, we’re working on an interim plan, and we’ve also got some great new people in our Director of Sales & Marketing (outside hire), Patrol Director (promotion), and Snowsports School Director (promotion) positions.

Congrats, cool place out there! Was there last year for a day. Probably the best powder day of the year.

I would imagine hiring snowmakers on a small budget, in a massive labor shortage, would be a thankless job. Employers still think that if we go into an official recession, the job market will be a buyers market. It's a smaller labor market out there and wages may continue to rise despite a recession.
Also the advanced age of the rest of the lifts (not the tram) and buildings etc. Cannon's infrastructure looks like it's aging.
