LUDLOW, Vt. – Okemo Mountain Resort’s Mountain Operations Department was recently recognized for its commitment to safety. The department of nearly 100 staff members marked a full year without a recordable accident. No one from Mountain Operations sought medical treatment or lost time from work due to an injury since January 2011.

“This is a tremendous accomplishment,” said Okemo Vice President of Human Resources Crystal Stokarski. “Every one of our team members in Mountain Operations works with varying conditions, schedules, team members and projects. To do all this accident free, while always accomplishing their goals, is awesome. These folks are truly role models for all of us!”

During a recent managers’ meeting, Okemo Vice President and General Manager Bruce Schmidt presented a plaque to Mountain Operations managers in attendance.
