Management Team
Our dedicated management team is second to none in the valley. We benefit from their presence on-site. During the winter, they maintain bundles of firewood and use village vehicles to plow our roads daily if needed. During the summer, they support our renters and visitors, keeping our pool and hot tub in top condition.
They also oversee our self-sufficient water supply. With two wells on our property we feed a 210,000 gallon water tank to serves our village. We also manage an on-site waste water treatment plant. Both serve to minimize our risks - to water supply, to increasing water rates, and to the impact of wildfires. These two projects were financed through loans that are repaid with your association dues.
Corey Clark thought he was going to help Wes for a few weeks. Six years later he's helped Ptarmigan Village increase property values and improve community harmony. We are so grateful for the time he spent here. We will be sad to see him go this summer.
We are in the process of looking for a new General Manager and Assistant General Manager to begin full-time, on site beginning in June. Resume can be sent to Secretary@Ptarmiganvillage.com.
Wes Buschang has brought tremendous insight and upgrades to Ptarmigan Village in two key ways. First, he revolutionized the rentals program which now provides an offset to keep our association fees low. Then he brought our various insurance programs together, allowing Ptarmigan and its owners to reduce their annual fees. He may not be serving the Village full-time, but we are thrilled he is still providing us his knowledge. Maybe Wes can help us get a batting cage at Ptarmigan?!
Patricia Martinez manages the day-to-day operations of the rental program. She has shown unlimited patience in dealing with our guests, our owners, and the board. She is calm, cool and collected - even when things aren't going according to plan. She remembers our regular guests, and in the age of AI, provides that valuable human touch. We're thankful for her spirit.
Jenni Cheff manages the daily financial operations of Ptarmigan Village, ensuring accurate records, compliance, and transparency. While only in the office part-time, she manages to track dues/assessments, process vendor payments, reconcile bank statements, maintain the general ledger, and prepare financial reports for the board - all while being pleasant and personable. We're thrilled to have her here to safeguard association funds.
In her free time, you can find her chasing the sun on her boat on the lake or with her husband and three kids cheering on the Montana State Bobcats, MT Tech Orediggers, Gonzaga Bulldogs and Columbia Falls Wildcats.
