Adams brings nearly two decades of operations and recreation management experience. Most recently, he managed the Great Outdoor Shop in Pinedale, overseeing daily operations, staffing, and customer engagement. Earlier in his career, he worked at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in Utah, where he led rental operations and large seasonal teams.

Bevilacqua previously worked in facility operations for the Sublette County Ice Arena and has held leadership roles as a hockey coach and program director in youth sports. His background also includes sales and marketing management with Wind River Brewing Company.

“Dalan and Austin both bring a love for this mountain, a commitment to our community, and the leadership to help us deliver an incredible experience this winter,” said White Pine director of operations Mercedes Pepper.

The new leadership team steps in as the Bridger-Teton National Forest ski area enters its second winter under the ownership of Joe Ricketts, who purchased White Pine in 2024. At the time of the sale, Ricketts pledged to invest in infrastructure improvements and preserve the mountain’s community-focused character. White Pine has 29 trails served by two chairlifts and a summit elevation of 9,600 feet.
