Windham Mountain Hires Dan Hogan as Director of Snowsports
WINDHAM VETERAN, FRANZ KRICKL, MOVES TO DIRECTOR OF SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING POSITION
Windham Mountain, Windham, NY (November 7, 2019) -
Windham Mountain is pleased to announce that Dan Hogan has joined the senior leadership team in the role of Director of Snowsports School. Hogan will manage a staff of over three hundred instructors, coaches, managers and administrative personnel. He’ll oversee all programs, revenue, expenses, employee compensation, benefits, and administration of the snowsports program at Windham.
Over the last decade, Hogan has been on an eternal winter circuit, splitting his time between the Children’s General Manager role at Breckenridge Resort in Colorado and as the Snowsports School Manager at Perisher Resort in New South Wales, Australia. Settling down in the Northern Hemisphere for a year-round role at Windham is a move closer to home for Hogan. He’s a native of the Boston area, where he started his career as a Junior Instructor at Wachusett Mountain in 1997. From there, he made stops at Wildcat, Smugglers’ Notch, and Stowe before settling in at Breckenridge and Perisher. He’s received his PSIA Level I, II, III, and FS I certifications, and has attended the national academy nine times. Hogan says “I love everything that skiing has to offer. Time in the mountains, the community of passionate people brought together by the sport, and seeing new people enjoying skiing and snowboarding for the first time is what continues to drive me every day.”
PSIA-E/AASI Einar Aas Award winner and longtime Director of Snowsports, Franz Krickl, has been at Windham for over forty years. He will remain on board for the 2019-2020 winter season as Director of Skiing and Riding. Krickl will focus on development of all snowsports school staff members in areas of teaching, coaching, training, and psychology.
“We’re excited to have Dan joining us and are fortunate to have the continued support of Franz,” says Chip Seamans, President and General Manager of Windham Mountain. “Dan’s vision, leadership and PSIA experience will continue to move the resort forward.”
