What is one standout guest memory
you have had since working at Massanutten?
• Last month I had a guest return. She was a bride at a wedding I coordinated last year and
she was attending a birthday party that I had organized and was managing. She raved about
her wedding day and gave high compliments to me and our staff. It was wonderful
learning what a positive impact I had made in someone’s life. - Amy H.
• During our summer operations, a couple of guests didn’t think they could ride the chairlift
back down. I brought them down on our Polaris Ranger and gave them info about the resort
and ski area they didn’t know previously. They said everything about the experience
made their vacation exceptional. - Allen G.
• Many years ago, a teen-aged guest was injured while skiing on an expert slope. A couple of
days later, we found a note on our chalkboard from his father, which gave the young man’s
name and injuries. It also said that the doctors said that people rarely survive the injuries that
he had. The father finished his note with “Your people saved my son’s life and I can’t thank
you enough.” Until the recent renovation, a photo of that message hung in our break room,
and I still have it. Two years ago, the young man returned to thank us himself, with
his eight-year-old daughter at his side. - Nancy B.
