So that explains the early season snow

We’re pretty sure the folks at Oliver Russell have been doing some form of a snow dance since, oh, mid-September. That’s when they announced that they were selected to lead public relations efforts for Tamarack Resort.

From their press release (that’s been sitting in the inbox for far too long):

Tamarack has been operated since 2010 by the Tamarack Municipal Association, which currently manages the ski mountain and golf course.  Several other companies operate lodging, real estate resale, and other guest amenities.  The resort is under the new ownership of New TR Acquisition Co LLC (NEWTRAC). NEWTRAC has hired Replay Resorts of Vancouver, B.C., to oversee operations at the resort.

“Oliver Russell brings creativity to our story and a longstanding commitment of investing in its community, which align well with how we intend to market and operate Tamarack Resort,” said Mariana Ishida of Replay Resorts.

Congratulations to Oliver Russell on the win.

Job Opening: Front-End Web Developer

Our friends at DaviesMoore continue to grow — and this time they’re looking to add a Front-End Web Developer to their team. From the job description on their site:

The successful candidate for this role will be someone who is dynamic and innovative in their approach to web development. We are looking for someone who can collaborate, conceptualize, build and maintain websites for a variety of clients.

At DaviesMoore, we take pride in developing a custom web experience tailored to the brand’s objectives while integrating into the overall marketing strategy seamlessly. We seek to provide our clients with engagement websites that don’t simply provide a brochure of products and services but start and continue a dialogue with its visitors.

This approach to web design and development requires someone who doesn’t just build a site to a PSD or to meet client requirements but rather someone who thinks beyond what the client says they want and what will really move the dial for their business. Knowing when it makes sense to add interactivity or unique functionality and then having the confidence to coach the client and then build it will require someone who is a self starter and constantly stays on top of trends in web design. This person will always be educating themselves as to how to create new ways of engagement via the web regardless of the device a person chooses to access it.

Full details about the position and how to apply can be found here.
