This year’s “10 Under Thirty” seem to defy the easy classification of their titles. From a finance director who understands the atomization and nucleation involved in snowmaking to a marketing director who can and still does run the kitchen cash register, these 10 wear multiple hats—and wear them well.

The 10 hail from across North America: small operations in the East, destination resorts in the West, and to the North, Canadian classics. Their nominators—bosses and co-workers alike—clearly respect the 10’s indefatigable enthusiasm for and commitment to the snowsports industry.

The industry is facing several challenges: an aging guest and leadership demographic, static skier visits, climate change, and more. But these rising stars don’t just see the problems, they see solutions, too. And they are eager to help.
