Secrets of the Slopes: Leadership, Gold Cards, and Skiing Fundamentals

Join us as we talk with Kimberly Jochl! From ski racing to leading Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Kim’s journey has been shaped by discipline, resilience, and a deep respect for community. As a member of the United States Alpine Ski Team from ages sixteen to twenty-three, she experienced both success and failure at the highest level, navigated the trauma of injuries, and gained a rare, firsthand view of the world through international competition. After stepping away from racing, Kim began her career at Sugar Mountain Resort and worked her way from weed eater to Vice President, learning the business from the ground up. That climb reinforced her belief that loyalty, hard work, and respect still matter, especially in an industry built on relationships and shared responsibility.
