Shannon Buhler, former senior director of mountain operations at Northstar California in the Lake Tahoe region, has been appointed vice president and general manager of Stowe Mountain Resort, effective July 17.
Buhler began her career with Vail Resorts nearly 20 years ago in product sales and services at Breckenridge Mountain. Since then, she’s led various departments at additional mountains within the Vail Resorts network, including Vail Mountain and Keystone Resort, before being appointed general manager at Snow Creek in Missouri.
In her most recent role at Northstar, Buhler led a team to oversee all aspects of mountain operations for the resort’s 3,170 skiable acres and 100 trails in the winter and robust operational offerings in the summer, including the world-class Northstar Bike Park.
“Having the ability to access a deep pool of talent within the Vail Resorts network has been invaluable in our search for the right leadership for Stowe Mountain Resort, and Shannon is truly an example of this philosophy at its best,” said Tim Baker, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Eastern Region Mountain Division. “We look forward to the impact she will undoubtedly make on our teams, our guests and the community.”
