SAM Magazine--March 18, 2013--Wisp Resort in Maryland announced the promotion of industry (and Wisp) veteran Jerry Geisler to GM today. Geisler has worked at Wisp Resort for 37 years beginning as a ski instructor in 1975. Geisler replaces Tim Prather.

Wisp emerged from bankruptcy in December 2012 under new ownership—EPR Properties, a REIT with extensive experience in winter resort operations, bought the resort for $23.5 million. EPR Properties announced earlier this year that it would partner with Salt Lake City, Utah-based Everbright Pacific, an affiliate of Pacific Group, as the new operator of the resort. Everbright Pacific also manages Ragged Mountain, N.H.
