SubItUp goes to the New England Summit 2011 Conference and Trade Show
After talking with some of the mountain resorts in New Hampshire, the SubItUp team decided to make a trip to the New England Summit 2011. The New England Summit is a conference that offers seminars on best practices in operations, marketing, snow making and more to ski resort operators, managers and employees. Attached to the conference is a trade show, where these members of the ski resort community can visit vendors whose products and solutions will make their lives easier.

SubItUp brought with it a vast knowledge of recreational scheduling, and an idea that that knowledge could be applied to ski resorts. The team showed the experiences that lifeguards and intramural officials were having in the program, and applied them to lift operators, ski instructors, and general operations teams. Armed with SubItUp these ski resorts will be able to spend less time scheduling their employees and more time watching the snow levels
