SAM Magazine—Jamesville, N.Y., April 28, 2017—The Ski Areas of New York Lift Training and Maintenance Program is being offered this summer at several locations around the state. The program will provide training and networking to lift maintenance staff in more than 10 critical areas of lift maintenance. SANY membership is not required in order to attend any of the classes; all New York state ski area lift personnel are invited. There is no cost to participate, and lunch will be provided at each location.
The typical program will be an all-day session lead by the host ski area lift maintenance department and others. Classes are expected to begin at 8:00 a.m., and will end when all questions have been answered.
SANY asks areas to RSVP to the ski area reservation contact person (see below) with the names of attendees that plan to participate.
