Karen Gerrard

Karen Gerrard was the operations manager for the Pleasant Valley Ski Resort prior to the Great War.

Background
Karen Gerrard oversaw operation of the resort. Karen directed other managers, such as Carl Beltran, and gave instruction such as when to activate the site's snow-maker. Karen was also responsible for handling instances of poor employee performance, and threatened to fire Carl when the ski lifts fell into a state of disrepair. In August of 2076, the resort experienced blizzard like conditions, which Karen described as being "impossible for the time of year." Unknown to the resort staff, this was the result of the ATLAS Program testing its weather modification systems. A VIP guest then rented out the facilities to take advantage of the out of season snow, and Karen had the staff open the resort in two days time.

Karen also worked with Sarah Seigfried from public relations to promote the resort's image. Together, events such as "Pheasants on the Run" were planned out. While the pheasant event was not without draw backs, which included visitor injuries, the resort saw the highest attendance and ski rental sales on Thanksgiving in the several years. After noting the lack of interest in the ski slopes, Karen began the re-branding of "Trail C" as the "Cutthroat Crag." While the trail was not challenging, she hoped that a marketing campaign could have potential visitors believe the trail was more dangerous than it actually was.
