OnTheSnow Names Alicia Gough Executive Editor/Europe

Alicia Gough, a top freelance journalist based in Brighton, UK has been named Executive Editor of OnTheSnow’s European newsroom operation. The announcement was made this spring by Craig Altschul, Editor-in-Chief of all Mountain News Corp. editorial products.

Gough, who served as Regional Editor for OnTheSnow.co.uk last winter, will continue to personally write articles of interest to British skiers and snowboarders this season, but takes on the added responsibilities of helping develop and then managing a group of regional editors.

Altschul said OnTheSnow is in the process of hiring a staff of snow journalists who will cover mountain resort travel news in German, Italian, French, and Dutch. Editors will concentrate on upcoming events, good lodging and travel packages to ski resorts, special programs, breaking news, and much more.

“Alicia and the staff of regional editors reporting to her will bring a new dynamic to OnTheSnow in Europe, just as our North American newsroom has done in the U.S. and Canada. The European additions bring the total OnTheSnow news team around the globe to 15 seasoned travel journalists,” he said.

Gough holds a Postgraduate Diploma from the London School of Journalism and has been published regularly by Expedia, Travel Weekly, AOL, Hays Travel, and many others over the past eight years.
