Ben Alder
General Manager
Ben came to Elk Ridge Valley after years of teaching, guiding, and helping friends plan mountain trips. Hospitality became a natural fit because he likes translating local knowledge into useful guest advice: which shuttle to catch, when to leave for a trailhead, where to eat after a long day, and how to avoid overloading a short visit. Away from the desk, he spends time skiing, biking, and exploring quiet ridgelines.
