“Kudos” to Bromley’s Adventure Park Staffer Leah Ryan

Bromley Mountain, VT - As Bromley Mountain prepares for its annual transformation from amusement park to ski resort, the Sun Mountain Adventure Park’s management team of Pete Robertson and Mike Scholz congratulate and thank the Summer 2010 Adventure Park staff and announce the winner of this year’s Andrea Coolidge Kudo’s Award, Leah Ryan.

The award was created to commemorate the life of a long-time and much loved Bromley employee, Andrea Coolidge, who passed away in May of 2008. “Andrea loved this place and gave it her all, all day, ever day,” says Pete Robertson. “It’s a fact,” adds Mike Scholz, “Andrea was without a doubt the hardest working woman – the hardest worker, period – this mountain’s ever seen,” (the “Kudos” part of the award’s name comes from Robertson’s and Scholz’ habit of handing Kudos Granola Bars to employees who go the extra mile – the winner of the annual award is the staffer who earned the most Kudos bars over the season).

That Leah would live up to Andrea’s legacy might have been obvious from Day One. She always wore a great big smile, was a hit with both guests and co-workers and, over the course of the season, managed to work every one of the busy park’s 22 rides and attractions. That she remained cheerful, helpful and absolutely unflappable during what was by far the busiest season in the Adventure Park’s history is all the more commendable.
