Mount Snow has a new general manager, and she's the real deal.

August 22, 2025

Lea Gabrielle Potts, aka Wonder Woman, has been VP and General Manager of Mount Snow since 12/19/24.

I had the pleasure of riding on the lift with Ms Potts several times last year, having been formally introduced by our mutual friend, the infamous Cowboy Larry; local celebrity and ski bum extraordinaire. (Larry is the cool guy on the right, sitting next to some loser in the K1 gondola)

Firstly, let me put it out there... not only did she work for the US State Department, and fly fighter aircraft off carriers for the US f*cking Navy, she's a certified ripper and complete badass.  Although, you'd never know it sitting next to her on the chair; she's as unassuming as they come.  Don't let that fool ya though, she can turn and burn with some of the best skiers on the hill.


Last I had the pleasure of sharing a lift ride with her, she was having a one-on-one meeting with a staff leader while on the bubble chair, multi-tasking an afternoon of skiing, while I was spring skiing with Cowboy Larry and part of his rat pack.

That, my friends, is what The SOUL OF SKIING is all about. 

Walk the walk.

Talk the talk.

Staff meetings on the lift.

Doing the ski report on the socials.

Actually getting out on the hill and vibing with the masses while getting a read on conditions, and talking to Joe and Jane Everyday Skier to get a feel for things. 


Anyway, here are a few links so you can read up on her:
