Replying to Woodward/POWDR Ownership & Corporate Structure
I've been wondering the past few years... what exactly is the deal with Woodward/POWDR?
Woodward is a part of POWDR.... is every "Woodward @ BlankPark" a POWDR owned resort? or is POWDR also doing partnerships with resorts owned by other groups?
For example, Woodward PC is obviously an entirely POWDR owned and operated resort (I think?) but what about places like Copper, Bachelor, Killington or Boreal? Does POWDR own and operate the entire resort, or have they sold the resort their "Woodward Package" for park maintenance and training facilities?
Wondering where we might see the next Woodward Park.... could any resort bring Woodward on board? Or does it have to be a POWDR resort.
Curious to hear from anyone who has worked for POWDR or Woodward in any capacity.
Are they a good company to work for?
Have the outcomes been generally good for the resorts, communities, and employees?
I feel like we hear so much hate for Vail Resorts and other big mega brands, but haven't heard anything negative about POWDR. Saw on their website the founder was a mountain guide... which lends itself towards good vibes I would presume.
Whether you've been a digger, coach, mountain ops, or admin/management I'm super curious how Woodward works and how it ties in to the larger POWDR structure.
Thanks for any info, hot takes, glowing praise, or vengeful rants. Lmk fam!
