Antelope Butte Appoints Peter Johnson as New General Manager
Johnson has led the successful redevelopment of Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort in North Powder, Oregon over the past 16 years.
The Board of Directors of Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Johnson as its new General Manager.
Johnson joins the Antelope Butte team with a proven track record of operational excellence and sustainable growth, most recently serving as the leader of Anthony Lakes Outdoor Recreation Association overseeing Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort outside of North Powder, Oregon.
Antelope Butte has established itself as a North American leader in making winter mountain recreation accessible to families, most notably through its commitment to offering free skiing and riding to all youth aged 17 and under. As the mountain enters its next phase of development, the Board sought a leader who shares this vision of inclusivity and community-focused growth.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome Peter to Antelope Butte," said Board Chair Andy Shepard. "Peter has built a well-earned reputation as a strong, empowering leader who knows how to transform mountain operations into sustainable, thriving businesses. His experience aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are confident he is the right person to lead our team into this next chapter."
“I cannot wait to get started and to hit the ground running with Antelope Butte this October,” said Johnson. “I’ve been impressed by the foundation that the Board of Directors, previous General Manager JD, and the core team that Ryan and Tim have put in place and I am very much looking forward to the healthy and sustainable future of Antelope Butte. The focus the mountain has placed on youth programming, keeping skiing affordable to all families, and the focus on the local community are the main drivers behind my excitement at accepting this position. I am looking forward to seeing where this team will take Antelope Butte.”
