Shannon Beattie
Director of Operations
Role at Skican:
As Director of Operations, I am responsible for overseeing the infrastructure and operations functions at Skican, with the aim to ensure that both our sales team and customers undergo a seamless booking experience.
Favourite Ski Or Mountain Destination:
I live in Pemberton, BC, so I’d have to say my home mountain of Whistler Blackcomb and favorite runs would be any laps on Whistler’s Peak Chair.
Where To Next And/Or What's On Your Bucket List?
I am looking forward to skiing at Kicking Horse this winter and my bucket list ski destination is anywhere in Japan or Europe!
How Do You Like To Chill Out/ How Do You Spend Your Spare Time Outside Of Skican?
While I love the outdoor pursuits of skiing and biking, you will most often find me with a book in hand during any spare few minutes that I can grab during the day.
Ski Escapes That I Will Be Hosting:
Sun Peaks Ski Escape
Sun Peaks ticks all the boxes as a destination for a top-notch ski holiday. We are excited about the new West Bowl High Speed Quad chairlift that is opening on the mountain this winter, which is said to open up more West-Bowl trails and off-piste terrain. I look forward to riding this new lift and exploring all that Sun Peaks has to offer with guests on this Ski Escape.
Red & Whitewater Ski Escape
Another Skican favourite Ski Escape destination, the Red & Whitewater trip is back, and the snow forecast is looking strong for these Powder Highway destinations! I look forward to enjoying powder laps with guests on this Ski Escape.
Banff & Lake Louise Ski Escape
I have been lucky enough to visit the Banff area several times in the last few years. The beauty of the Canadian Rockies is breathtaking. This trip combines the stunning Canadian Rockies scenery, 3 ski areas to explore, all while staying at the iconic Banff and Lake Louise Fairmont properties. I look forward to continuing to explore all that Banff and Lake Louise has to offer with guests on this Ski Escape.
