Ep.14 - Scott Turlington of Tamarack Resort on going from Full Reset to Record Revenue

Imagine building one of the first new ski areas in North America in years, and just four years in, almost having the whole thing collapse, only to re-emerge years later and realize a slightly adjusted version of the original vision? This week, we’re off to Tamarack Resort in Idaho, a mountain that didn’t just get built from scratch, but had to rebuild itself after hitting some serious turbulence. It's a fascinating deep dive into one of the most unique comeback stories in the ski industry.  We sit down with CEO Scott Turlington, who’s been part of Tamarack’s journey from the very beginning, through the early vision, the 2008 financial crisis, and then returned to lead the resurgence that’s turning heads across the industry. This conversation goes way beyond lifts and snow. We get into what it really takes to rebuild trust with your audience, how to position a resort that’s both destination and local, and why marketing is less about flashy campaigns and more about consistently delivering on your promises. There are lessons here for anyone in mountain ops, marketing, or really any business trying to grow in a competitive space. So let’s get on our blue jeans and head out to the mountain on the shores of Lake Cascade for a chat with CEO of Tamarack Resort, Scott Turlingon.
