Corporate layoffs announced at Mount Snow

WEST DOVER — A group of Mount Snow employees will lose their jobs as a result of a merger with Vail Resorts.

Mount Snow's parent company Peak Resorts was acquired by Vail Resorts this summer.

"As part of the acquisition and integration of our 17 new resorts in the Northwest, Mid-atlantic and Midwest, today we announced certain organizational changes including the elimination of duplicative roles in corporate functions," Jamie Storrs, resort spokesman, said in a text message Wednesday. "Our goal with these changes is to continue to build centralized and regional structures designed to best support our growing portfolio of resorts. While we are pleased to retain the vast majority of employees across our new resorts, we do recognize how challenging change can be for everyone involved and do not make these decisions lightly."

Storrs said the majority of affected employees will stay on through the 2019-20 winter season. He declined to provide the number of affected employees or information on what kind of jobs they hold. Erik Barnes, general manager, will stay on.
