While Drew Stanley, who has worked at Appalachian Ski Mtn. since 1999, enjoys the four seasons of the High Country, winter is undoubtedly his favorite.
Stanley pretty much grew up at the Blowing Rock ski resort with his father Steve overseeing the resort’s operations, such as snowmaking and grooming, for years now. Stanley started skiing when he was 16 months old. Stanley made a habit of coming to work early with his father and then hitting the slopes when he wasn’t in class.
In high school, he started working at Appalachian Ski Mtn. and volunteered to build terrain parks for performing tricks on skis and snowboards.
