“Ed has been a great friend, confidante and leader since we purchased Shawnee Peak in September 1994,” said owner Chet Homer. “While his day-to-day presence will be missed, he will remain a valued advisor.”

A Maine native, Lewis has extensive experience in the ski industry. Most recently he has served as director of skiing operations at Loon Mountain, where he has worked for 19 years. He is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and Bridgton Academy.

“We are excited to have Ralph join us. He is highly regarded in the industry and will be a great fit for Shawnee Peak, and his experience will help us continue to grow our business,” said Homer.
