This year’s Ski Area Vehicle Maintenance Institute (SAVMI) gathered the heart of the industry’s vehicle and equipment maintenance community under the theme: Where Maintenance Meets Morale. The event brought together professionals from 64 ski areas across 15 different states, alongside 33 supplying companies, for a powerful week of education, collaboration, and connection.
A special thank you to Bob Wheaton of Deer Valley, who delivered an inspiring keynote that set the tone for the week — emphasizing the vital role maintenance teams play not only in operational success but in shaping the culture and morale of our ski areas.
From hands-on technical training to meaningful peer-to-peer conversations, SAVMI 2025 reaffirmed that strong maintenance practices and strong teams go hand in hand.
