WANSHIP, UTAH (Feb. 21, 2019) – The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection, the new luxury resort opening May 2019 outside of Park City, Utah, announced the appointment of Jessica Cook as Director of Sales and Marketing. Cook brings more than 15 years of luxury hospitality experience and extensive knowledge of outdoor and adventure travel to her new role overseeing sales and marketing efforts for Auberge Resorts Collection’s first Utah property.
“We are delighted to welcome Jessica to the Auberge family,” said Mike Minchin, Chief Marketing Officer, Auberge Resorts Collection. “Her passion for the outdoors paired with years of dedicated luxury resort marketing make Jessica uniquely qualified to lead the sales and marketing efforts for what we believe will become one of the great mountain resorts in America.”
Cook joins The Lodge at Blue Sky with a background marketing and selling luxury experiential travel, beginning her career in sales and private trip planning for Butterfield & Robinson in Toronto, Canada, followed by both sales and marketing positions for a variety of distinguished properties such as The Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana, and Aman Resorts’ Amangiri and Amangani in Canyon Point, Utah, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, respectively.

“My passion for the outdoors began at the age of seven, when I attended a remote summer camp in Ontario and returned for 12 more summers. These summers inspired me to pursue a career bringing the best of nature to guests seeking authentic experiences,” said Jessica Cook, Director of Sales and Marketing for The Lodge at Blue Sky. “I am excited to be a part of the Blue Sky family, where convening with nature is at the core of what makes this mountain escape so special.”
The move to Utah was an easy one for Cook, who spent the past five years in Jackson Hole, where much of her free time was devoted to hiking, biking, fishing and cross-country skiing. Cook’s positive energy, love of nature and luxury travel experience align perfectly with the spirit of Blue Sky, where guests can experience luxury as nature intended.
