Conway, NH - Ski New Hampshire recently announced that Melody Nester has joined their association as Assistant Director. Nester brings extensive experience in tourism and marketing to the role, where she will support the organization’s 32 downhill and cross-country member ski areas in the state.

 

Nester was the long-time Assistant Director at the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, where she honed her skills working with hundreds of chamber members, many of which are tourism and hospitality-based businesses. In addition to her travel and tourism experience, she has extensive experience working with NH state programs related to the industry. While at the Chamber, she managed their ski partnership program involving over a dozen alpine and cross-country areas in the region. She subsequently worked with area non-profits including North Conway’s Memorial Hospital and Little Angels Service Dogs. 

 

Nester stated,  “I’m a huge fan of skiing and New Hampshire. Being a native of NH, I’ve lived here my whole life. I learned to ski at Sunapee. I joined the race team at Sunapee High. I still love racing, and I still love winters in New Hampshire.  I’m so excited to use my skills in marketing and promotion to support Ski New Hampshire’s member resorts.”

 

She continued, “Previously, I worked to promote Mount Washington Valley as a destination. Now I’ll be promoting New Hampshire as the premier ski destination, while also supporting the needs of our member ski resorts throughout the Granite State.”

 

President Jessyca Keeler expressed enthusiasm about having Nester join the Ski New Hampshire team. “I am so excited to have found someone with relevant experience, who has handled marketing, PR, sponsorship and membership. All these will fit in well with the demands of the position. She’s already hit the ground running!”
