UW grad with resort experience picked to manage Stevens Pass
STEVENS PASS — After a rocky winter season, Stevens Pass ski resort is getting a new general manager.
Former ski racer Ellen Galbraith, who has Washington roots and years of experience leading operations at other resorts, will begin working as the ski area’s general manager and vice president in June, Stevens Pass leadership announced in a blog post Tuesday.
Galbraith will take the reins from Tom Fortune, who stepped in as interim general manager in January amid a tumultuous start to the 2021-22 ski season on the mountain near Skykomish.
Fortune, a part of the leadership team at Heavenly ski resort at Lake Tahoe, was tapped by parent company Vail Resorts to address a litany of problems at Stevens Pass, including long lift lines, understaffing and terrain restrictions that kept half of the mountain from reopening early in the season.
