Commenting on his appointment, Derpak said “I am truly excited to be able to call Silver Star, ‘My Mountain.’ I have enjoyed the resort as a guest – in both winter and summer – and now I am excited to join this great team with its rich resort history and diverse array of offerings in winter and summer. I look forward to living in the village as it will allow me to truly experience the resort’s amenities and the vibrancy that makes it a four season destination resort.”
