The July 20, 2022, Gunstock Area commission meeting saw more than fireworks. The ‘world-class management team‘ was dissatisfied with the seating arrangement and went for the nuclear option.

The kingpin of the operation, now former commissioner Gary Kiedaisch, signals that he had foreknowledge of the events. On his way out, he says that the commissioners will need to get to the ski area bright and early to stand in for management. And having been a long-time businessman, he should have known the consequences of the management’s decision.
Almost every business owner knows that departing/disgruntled managers are to be walked off the premises immediately. The management team should have known KNEW it would cause significant damage to Gunstock.

We feel bad about the fact that this happened because we know how this will affect all you guys here,” said Day. “That’s something we discussed a lot before we made this decision, so hang tight, hang in there. Gunstock is your place. Hang in there, keep your heads down.”
Tom Day also reveals that this was likely a planned maneuver. One might wonder who is included in ‘we.’ Some might call it a conspiracy to damage Gunstock. Gunstock is not an employee own ski area, it is a county asset.
Without skipping a beat, the Democrat-led Citizen for Belknap PAC jumped in with a full-page advertisement in the local paper.
While they say that they ‘stand with Gunstock’s employees,’ they seem to ignore the fact that even a short shutdown of the business will harm the majority of the workers. The management ‘team players‘ are well compensated and can afford a bit of time off in the summer.
On the other hand, the wage earners are counting on every paycheck. The ‘professionals’ quit, and the PAC, with no hint of irony, applauds the political stunt, then claims to stand with the employees. It certainly looks like Alan Posnack thinks you have to expect and accept a bit of collateral damage.
As a reminder, this all started with a Commissioner actually doing his job. When management and former commissioners threw up a stone wall, they thought that would end any queries.
When more questions were asked they began a campaign to rid themselves of those with enough integrity to pursue the truth.
Those who had much to hide are now gone, those who sought the truth will start cleaning up the fallout.
