My name is Rich Morehouse this is my third year on the HUG board, I have been a SMS/Host user for 15 years, and with Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort for 24 years. Hospitality industry has been my life from my first job in Ogunquit, Maine when I was 16 years old, to resorts in Vermont and New York, and now Utah. (mainly to fund my ski habit that turned into a wonder career!)
My current role is as the Director of Revenue Management and Central Reservations for Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort. I chair the Revenue Committee which consists of the Vice President of Resort Operations, the Directors of Lodging, Sales, Retail, Spa, Tickets, Marketing, Mountain School, Food and Beverage, as well as the Property Managers and their operational leads. The group fosters lively discussions at times which require a calming influence and compromise that I often provide. Conversations range from customer experiences, marketing efforts, operational concerns, Staffing and what's next. This team provides a collective role in establishing policies, strategic plans, and financial sustainability. The Cliff lodge, our main hotel, is undergoing a 350 room renovation. The resort is adding a new building on the peak that will provide a new home for our Snow safety team as well as additional dinning space and meeting space options.
This year I have taken the on the roll of Vice Chair and basically commits me for the next two years to the HUG board . This year we have 2 new board members and they are jumping right in. This fall we will have we will have three positions open on the board if you have any interest please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Our next meeting is in August for our pre conference planning at Sunriver, ORin the beautiful northwest. We will be looking at vendor table lay outs, conference room assignments, and other conference logistics.
