Bergeron retires as snow sports operations manager at Killington

 

By Brooke Geery

 After a 37-year career in snow sports, Dan Bergeron is retiring. Prior to his 11 years as snow sports operations manager at Killington, he served as the ski school director at Okemo for 22 years and the ski school director for Mount Ascutney before that. 

As a divisional clinic leader and development team member for the eastern division of PSIA, Bergeron educated and evaluated ski instructors throughout the East Coast. He was also a member of the Snow Sports Management Committee, which established direction for educational content and was awarded the PSIA’s Einer Aas award for Excellence in Snow Sports School Management in December 2022.  

“Over his successful career Dan always put people first,” said Killington Snow Sports Manager Dave Lacombe. “He was progressive in his thinking, caring in his actions, and kind in his words. We’ll still be seeing him around Killington  where he’ll be enjoying time on the slopes with his family. We wish him the best of luck in retirement.”
