As I posted in the "Mayflower" thread, late yesterday the Park Record reported that at Deer Valley the buck will no longer stop with Jeremy Levitt. The COO of Deer Valley for just under a year, abruptly departed effective yesterday. Alterra gave the usual "we wish him well" statement. No reason as to why he is passing the buck.
This is very odd timing considering that the ski area is set to open for the season on Saturday. It's also odd considering that Deer Valley was engaged in high level talks with Park City officials regarding Deer Valley's proposed construction of a new base village at Snow Park. Deer Valley is also set to begin talks regarding another Olympic bid.
Levitt was formerly at CMH Heli Skiing and Summer Adventures in Canada, that Alterra bought. His experience was in the financial sector in New York City.
At the end of last season Levitt had told the Park Record and the public at a virtual "leadership" seminar that he was concerned about crowding issues at Deer Valley caused by the IKON Pass and was interested in "reviewing" the pass program. Perhaps he lost that battle. Or perhaps he is a snowboarder.
Alterra announced an interim COO who, surprise, surprise, worked with Rusty Gregory at Mammoth.
As to the terrible puns, you're welcome.
