“We’re making great inroads. We have great communication going with Extell and Mayflower, and the Mayflower project is something that we’re very interested in — only if it’s additive to Deer Valley.” – Mark Brownlie, Chief Operating Officer of Alterra Mountain Company in an interview with Ben Lasseter of KPCW.

After 33 years in business and almost 15 years as the supplier of Disney’s resort and cruise line toiletry products, H2O+ has announced it will cease operations.

In an announcement on the official H2O+ website, the company says, “After 30+ amazing years of innovation, we have made the very difficult decision to retire the brand at the end of the year.”
