Bolton Valley Announces Eric Deslauriers As New Mountain Operations Director,
Bolton Valley Resort is pleased to announce the appointment of Eric DesLauriers as the new Mountain Operations Director. Eric spent the previous 15 years at Palisades Tahoe leading arguably the most influential Freeride Team in the country. Eric is also known for his free skiing features in over 20 ski films with his brothers Rob and Adam.

In his new role as Mountain Operations Director, Eric will oversee all aspects of mountain operations at Bolton Valley Resort. This includes managing the ski patrol, lift operations, lift mechanics, grounds, vehicle and property maintenance, snowmaking, grooming, mountain bike trail crew, and mountain safety programs.
Eric spent his formative years through high school and college working in the mountain operations department at Bolton Valley, doing everything from trail maintenance and snowmaking to helping design and lay out the Timberline chairlift and trail system, which were developed in the 1980’s. Over the years, with his brother Rob, Eric cut some of Bolton Valley’s most beloved glades including Devil’s Playground and Lost Boys.
Eric will be joining the management team to lead Bolton Valley Resort during a time of transformative growth. One of the largest remaining locally owned and independent ski resorts in Vermont, Bolton Valley was built by Eric’s father Ralph DesLauriers in the 1960s and is now run by his sister Lindsay DesLauriers. His brothers Rob, Adam, and Evan are also involved in managing the resort.
“I am super stoked to go full-circle and be part of the Bolton Valley team again,” Eric said. “Everyone works passionately to create a positive and rewarding experience for our guests and coworkers. I am proud to be here and look forward to doing my part to build on the positive momentum at BV.”
Bolton Valley Resort is located in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, just 30 minutes from Burlington and Stowe. The resort offers skiing and riding on 71 trails, along with extensive backcountry skiing and riding opportunities. With over 300 inches of snowfall annually and some of the best terrain in the east, Bolton Valley is a favorite among skiers and riders from across the country. In the summer months, Bolton Valley has established itself as one of the best downhill mountain bike parks in the northeast with a mix of raw, rowdy and ripping technical terrain and new flow trails from world class trail designers and builders Gravity Logic.
