VERNON — SNOW Operating is proud to announce the addition of Charles Blier to their executive team as the newly appointed VP, General Manager for Mountain Creek Resort. Charles brings more than 30 years of resort operating experience to his role at Mountain Creek and his return marks a homecoming for the industry veteran who previously worked as the resort’s General Manager from 1999 to 2006.
“I am very excited about the opportunity to work with Charles again. Charles was one of the first GMs I had the opportunity to work for and he has been a mentor to me ever since. The skills and experience that Charles brings to the table are exactly what we need at Mountain Creek at this time to bring our team and our guest experiences to the next level,” said Joe Hession, CEO of SNOW Operating
Charles got his start in the industry in 1988 as Director of Mountain Operations at Tremblant in Quebec, Canada. After Tremblant’s acquisition by Intrawest Charles quickly moved up their ranks holding leadership positions at Mont Ste Marie in Ottawa and Mountain Creek, New Jersey before taking the role of Executive Vice President, General Manager at Camelback Resort in Pennsylvania.

In 2017 Charles left his role at Camelback to take the position of VP of Sales for Prinoth North America. The most recent move brings Charles back to the world of resort operations where his passions and talents truly lie.
