Management
The cooperative holds annual elections for a board of trustees, who oversee the management and business of the ski area. They also hire a general manager to handle day-to-day operations.
Despite several challenges, the co-op has been very successful. The mortgage on the ski area was paid off within a few years. Additionally, the ski area has remained profitable through several poor ski seasons, including the 1998 Ice Storm, and has managed to fund the replacement of the double chairlift and the restoration of the single chair.

Famous quotes containing the word management:

—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
