Stowe Mountain Resort Appoints Mike Giorgio As General Manager

Stowe Mountain Resort announced Mike Giorgio as General Manager, effective Monday, November 18. Most recently, Giorgio led six Midwest resorts in the Vail Resorts portfolio as Regional General Manger based out of Mt. Brighton Resort in Michigan.

“Mike’s appointment as the new GM of Stowe Mountain Resort is a testament to his exceptional leadership,” said Tim Baker, Senior Vice President and COO of Eastern Region Mountain Division. “His decades-long hospitality experience and recent role overseeing six of our Midwest resorts demonstrates his vision and capability to lead the Stowe team and make a positive impact on our guests and the community. Tapping into the extensive talent
pool within the Vail Resorts network has been invaluable in our search for the right leadership for Stowe Mountain Resort, and Mike is truly an example of this practice at its best.”

Giorgio began his career with Vail Resorts nearly 11 years ago as the Executive Chef of Mount Snow, where he then spent the next 11 years running Food and Beverage. In 2021, he was appointed General Manager at Mt. Brighton, and earlier this year was promoted to Regional General Manager overseeing six Midwest resorts: Mt Brighton, Mad River, Paoli Peaks, and Boston Mills/Brandywine/Alpine Valley. Mike brings a wealth of experience and passion for enhancing the employee and guest experience.

“Stowe Mountain Resort has an incredible history, and it’s truly an honor to contribute to that legacy going forward alongside such a talented team,” Giorgio said. “Joining the Stowe family and being a part of the vibrant, passionate community is an opportunity I’m excited for. Returning to Vermont, where my journey in the ski industry began, feels like coming full circle. I’m eager to build on Stowe’s reputation as the premier Northeast
destination, while respecting and celebrating everything that makes Vermont’s highest peak so special.”

During his time in the Midwest, Giorgio’s ability of developing high-performing leaders and deep connections with the community led to a transformative guest experience and the revitalization of events for both employee and guests.

Giorgio will be moving back to Vermont with his wife, Anna, two sons, and three dogs.  In his spare time, Giorgio enjoys spending time outdoors with his family - snowboarding, rock climbing, and running.
