Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort found themselves in a media storm of their own Saturday, when a notice to employees saying they would have to come into work amidst the harsh weather, made its way online. 

"There will be lot of snowfall Saturday night thru Sunday morning. If your vehicle cannot handle snow, make alternate plans. Snow is not an excuse for missing work. If thousands of skiers can make it to Jiminy, so can you," the notice read in red colored font. "In the event a state of emergency is declared they will order a travel ban. WE ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS ORDER."

Many were especially critical of the statements made towards the end of the notice which read: "If you are considering staying at Jiminy overnight, there are NO accommodations available. Not even a pillow or blanket." 

Jiminy Peak's CEO Tyler Fairbank has since responded to the incident on Twitter, apologizing for the content of the notice and denies it applied to Jiminy Peak employees.

"Last night, a manager of the concessionaire company posted a message to its employees entitled 'TO ALL EMPLOYEES.' While that manager was directing his message to the John Harvard’s staff, he inadvertently represented it as being to all employees at the resort. This is simply not so. While trying to convey his concerns for the concessionaire’s staffing through the upcoming storm, that manager was overzealous in his language, tone, and approach, which do not conform to the policies for Jiminy employees or what Jiminy expects of its concessionaires and vendors," Fairbank said.

Fairbank states the company is not "intolerate" nor "inflexible" in its own inclement weather policy. 

"The policy merely requests employees plan ahead when facing poor weather conditions, and make their best efforts to get to work in order to assist our guests, with Jiminy’s core principle stressing firmly that the safety of our employees and guests is of paramount importance," Fairbank said.

Despite this statement, some on Twitter were still displeased. 

"Make excuses and apologies all you want. That message was disgusting and ultimately, you hired the person who posted it in a managerial role. I am sure that was not the first time members of your staff have treated other employees with that much contempt. You just got caught now," one Twitter user said.

Others were calling for the firing of the manager who posted the notice.

"Can you confirm if the manager has been fired or not? Crazy to think we’d visit such a resort while he’s still around," another user tweeted

Fairbank says the safety of both guests and employees are always the first priority of Jiminy Peak.

John Harvard's Restaurant & Brewery, the alleged origination of the notice, issued their own statement as well.

"We want to make clear: We do not expect our team members to put themselves in harm’s way to travel to the mountain. Similarly, if any employees are unable to travel home, we have available space in our facilities where staff can sleep with pillows and blankets provided. This is standard operating procedure," the Brewery said.

The Brewery says should a state of emergency be declared, they would follow local regulations.

"The memo in question does not reflect our values, protocol, or that of Jiminy Peak. While we cannot comment on personnel matters, the situation is being handled internally," the Brewery said.
