Chief Executive Officer, MCP Las Vegas



Mountain Capital Partners | Give People the Freedom to Ski



Mountain Capital Partners is one of the largest ski resort companies in the United States by resort count. We did not get here by accident. We got here because we find great mountains, put the right leaders in place, and give people the freedom to ski.



Now we are looking for the right CEO to lead our Las Vegas-area platform.



This is not a traditional ski resort General Manager role. Lee Canyon already has an operations-focused General Manager in place, and that is by design. We need a CEO who can lead above the day-to-day, build the business, strengthen profitability, elevate hospitality, and help shape the next chapter of growth in Southern Nevada.



We give people the freedom to ski. That is our purpose. It is our North Star. And we need a leader in Nevada who is anchored to that truth while also bringing the judgment, discipline, and ambition to grow a more complex, multi-asset business.



The Opportunity



Lee Canyon is a unique resort business: a ski area just outside Las Vegas with a meaningful runway for operational improvement, guest experience enhancement, and long-term growth. The resort already has a leader in place who knows how to run the mountain and deliver a solid ski product. What we need now is a leader to help take MCP’s Las Vegas operations to the next level.



This CEO will oversee Lee Canyon through its General Manager while helping Mountain Capital Partners build and lead a broader Las Vegas-area hospitality platform. That includes supporting the integration and growth of additional hospitality assets as MCP expands in the market.



This role is designed to keep you focused on what matters most:




  • strategy

  • financial performance

  • organizational design

  • stakeholder relationships

  • hospitality leadership

  • and long-term value creation



For the right leader, this role can grow. MCP is an expanding company, and leaders who create results here earn larger opportunities. We believe in building from within.



What You’ll Do



Lead the Strategy




  • Live and lead MCP’s mission, vision, and culture: Giving People the Freedom to Ski

  • Partner with MCP leadership to build and execute a multi-year strategic plan for the Las Vegas-area platform

  • Translate vision into annual priorities, measurable KPIs, and a culture of accountability

  • Identify opportunities to strengthen Lee Canyon as a durable, year-round mountain business and to grow adjacent hospitality operations over time



Lead Through Operators




  • Oversee the Lee Canyon General Manager, who will continue to handle day-to-day mountain leadership

  • Create a clear leadership rhythm with honest feedback, real accountability, and strong execution standards

  • Help ensure the resort has the right organizational structure, decision rights, and leadership bench to perform at a higher level

  • Build a model where the business does not depend on the CEO for every decision, but does depend on the CEO for clarity, alignment, and standards



Drive Business Performance




  • Own the broad business results for the Las Vegas-area platform: revenue, cost discipline, labor efficiency, capital planning, and profitability

  • Improve margin performance at Lee Canyon by bringing stronger financial discipline, organizational clarity, and operating rigor

  • Partner with resort leaders to improve food and beverage performance, hospitality standards, and guest-facing execution

  • Help build the systems, scorecards, and operating cadence needed to run a stronger business



Lead Hospitality Growth




  • Help MCP stand up, integrate, and grow additional hospitality operations in the Las Vegas area

  • Bring a hospitality mindset and leadership capability that Lee Canyon does not currently have on the ground

  • Assess inherited teams, retain strong talent, and build or upgrade leadership where needed

  • Help create a unified vision across mountain and lodging/hospitality operations without forcing the two into the same mold



Support Development, Entitlements, and Capital Projects




  • Help lead the planning and execution of important growth and improvement projects across the Las Vegas-area platform

  • Work with MCP leadership, consultants, contractors, architects, engineers, and agency partners to help move projects forward

  • Support project management tied to resort improvements, hospitality upgrades, development planning, and future expansion opportunities

  • Help navigate permitting, entitlement, land-use, and stakeholder processes, particularly where public agencies, environmental considerations, or multi-party coordination are involved

  • Ensure projects are prioritized, scoped, sequenced, and executed in a way that supports the broader business strategy



Own the Stakeholder Relationships




  • Serve as MCP’s senior representative in the Las Vegas-area market

  • Build productive relationships with the Forest Service, local and state officials, community stakeholders, and other key partners tied to Lee Canyon’s long-term future

  • Help lead conversations around growth, land use, development potential, and community impact

  • Represent MCP as a long-term owner-operator committed to building great businesses, not flipping assets



Build and Steward the Culture




  • Champion and embed MCP’s values daily: Family Matters, Lead by Example, Be Curious, Be Restless, Work Hard and Go Ski, and Winning is Fun

  • Model a culture of urgency, accountability, humility, and execution

  • Balance high standards with strong people judgment

  • Lead in a way that earns trust from teams on the mountain, in hospitality, and at the corporate level



Be Curious. Be Restless.




  • Help identify future growth and development opportunities in the Las Vegas-area market

  • Look beyond what exists today and ask what the business could become in three, five, and ten years

  • Bring ideas, not just maintenance



This Role Demands




  • An ownership mindset: if it is broken, you fix it; if it is winning, you build on it

  • High agency: you do not wait for permission to solve problems

  • Strategic clarity paired with operator credibility

  • Financial discipline and comfort owning a P&L

  • Strong hospitality instincts and the judgment to improve guest-facing businesses

  • The ability to lead through others instead of trying to do everything yourself

  • Excellent communication and relationship skills

  • Comfort with complexity: multiple assets, multiple stakeholders, development opportunities, and no perfect playbook

  • Enough project-management discipline to help move capital projects, upgrades, and entitlement-related work forward

  • A genuine connection to skiing and mountain recreation

  • Openness to technology, systems improvement, and AI-enabled efficiency
