Chad Harrell

A motivated and energetic professional with a strong foundation in leadership, customer service, and operational management across a variety of industries, including hospitality, automotive service, and outdoor recreation. With experience managing customer-focused teams at Dutch Bros Coffee and a full-service car wash, I have developed strong skills in team building, scheduling, operational efficiency, and front-line problem solving. I thrive in fast-paced environments where team dynamics, safety, and guest satisfaction are critical to success. Currently working as a snowboard instructor, I have found my true passion in mountain operations. Teaching on the slopes has deepened my commitment to safety, terrain awareness, and creating memorable guest experiences. This role has allowed me to build trust with students and families, adapt to changing mountain conditions, and collaborate with lift operations, patrol, and maintenance crews—all while maintaining a strong sense of professionalism and approachability. My long-term career goal is to advance to Senior Manager of Mountain Operations at Liberty Mountain Resort. I am eager to apply the leadership principles I have honed in other fields to the mountain setting I love. With a dedication to continuous learning, a safety-first culture, and operational excellence, I am actively seeking opportunities to take on more responsibility within mountain operations. I bring a versatile background, a team-first mentality, and a strong drive to grow in the resort industry.
