5/24/13 - Vail Resorts has named a new general manager to oversee the Mt. Brighton ski area operations. Colorado-based Vail Resorts has named Taylor Ogilvie general manager after earlier purchasing Mt. Brighton and the golf course from owner Joe Bruhn, who is said to be retiring. Ogilvie is originally from the Chicago suburbs and grew up skiing Midwest ski areas and is said to have a large amount of ski resort management experience. He starts the new position June 10th and will be relocating to the area with his wife and daughters. Ogilvie will also oversee the $10 million of capital improvements planned at Mt. Brighton this summer, which officials say will significantly enhance the ski and snowboard experience next season. Improvements in snowmaking will allow Vail Resorts to open the ski resort earlier, extend the season and provide a high-quality snow surface. Lift upgrades and other improvements to the overall facility are also planned, along with new terrain parks. (JM)
