"The 2012-13 season stands as a remarkable rebound from the prior year with record early openings thanks to our 80% snowmaking coverage, perfectly-timed snow for the holidays, blizzard snowfall that buried our core markets' backyards and an epic March that we haven't seen in years," said VSAA president Parker Riehle.

Also at the meeting, Jay Peak Resort president Bill Stenger was presented with the Industry Achievement Award and Burton's Jeff Boliba was given the Friend of the Industry award.
