At Lone Rider Consulting, we believe that collaboration is key to building a resilient and successful ski industry ecosystem. While we specialize in ski resort operations consulting, we recognize that small businesses and specialized professionals across the industry provide essential services that contribute to the overall success of ski resorts.
That’s why we’re actively seeking to connect with and build a trusted network of small businesses within the ski industry. By partnering with like-minded companies and freelancers, we can create a comprehensive resource network that benefits everyone—whether you need a service we don’t provide, or if we’re too busy to take on a particular project.
Why Join Our Industry Network?
Our goal is to create a community of trusted, reliable small businesses that can work together to meet the unique needs of ski resorts and related businesses. Being part of this network offers a number of advantages, including:
- Referral Opportunities: If Lone Rider Consulting is unable to fulfill a particular service or is at capacity, we’ll refer our clients to trusted businesses within our network. This helps drive new leads and ensures that ski resorts get the help they need from reliable professionals.
- Collaborative Projects: We believe in the power of collaboration. Being part of this network opens doors for joint ventures, partnerships, and opportunities to work together on larger projects. Whether it’s snowmaking, ski resort maintenance, environmental sustainability, or tech solutions, we encourage cross-industry cooperation to deliver comprehensive services.
- Industry Visibility: As a trusted partner in our network, your business will be featured in a list of recommended vendors and service providers that ski resorts can turn to. This can increase visibility and credibility for your company within the ski industry.
- Shared Resources & Best Practices: By joining our network, you’ll gain access to a broader pool of resources, including industry best practices, new technologies, and insights into trends within the ski resort operations sector. We aim to share knowledge and help each other grow.
- Referrals from Fellow Professionals: As a small business owner, sometimes the best referrals come from other professionals who understand your work. Being part of this network connects you with other like-minded experts in the ski industry, expanding your professional network and potential client base.
Types of Businesses We're Looking to Connect With:
We’re looking to build a network that covers a wide range of specialized services to ski resorts and the ski industry. If you run a small business that offers services or products related to the following areas, we’d love to connect:
- Snowmaking & Grooming Equipment
- Slope Maintenance & Safety
- Environmental Consulting & Sustainability Initiatives
- Resort Technology Solutions (Software, Systems Integration, Data Analytics)
- Marketing & Branding for Ski Resorts
- Event Planning & Management (for ski events, competitions, etc.)
- Transportation & Logistics (snowcat rentals, shuttle services, equipment transport)
- Retail & Equipment Sales (ski gear, apparel, rentals)
- Staffing & Human Resources (training, recruitment for seasonal employees)

If you specialize in any other area that supports ski resort operations or related businesses, we’re open to building relationships and exploring how we can work together.
How It Works:
- Join Our Network: To be part of our Industry Network, we encourage you to reach out and introduce your business. Share your services, expertise, and past work to help us get a better understanding of what you offer. We value businesses that are professional, reliable, and high-quality.
- Get Listed: Once you’re approved for inclusion in the network, your business will be featured in our list of trusted partners. Ski resorts and related businesses will know they can rely on you for top-tier services.
- Referral Process: When a ski resort reaches out to Lone Rider Consulting for a service we don’t provide or we’re unable to take on, we will refer them directly to your business if your expertise matches their needs. We only refer businesses we trust to maintain the high level of service our clients expect.
- Collaborate on Projects: If a ski resort needs multiple services, we’ll actively look for opportunities for you to collaborate with other businesses in our network. For example, if a ski resort needs both snowmaking and event planning, we’ll connect you with another trusted professional in our network to help deliver a comprehensive solution.
- Ongoing Support: We’re committed to fostering an environment of mutual support within our network. You can also reach out to Lone Rider Consulting for guidance, mentorship, and insights on how to better serve ski resorts, expand your business, or collaborate on larger projects.
