Matt Hale has been appointed as Executive Chef at Skamania Lodge

Matt Hale
Hale comes to Skamania Lodge having previously worked at Resort at Squaw Creek, A Destination Hotel in Lake Tahoe as the fine dining sous chef. From there, he moved on to banquet chef at Sandy’s Pub, also located at Resort at Squaw Creek, where he was quickly promoted to the executive sous chef. While growing up in Sierra City, Calif., Hale learned to grow large vegetable gardens and small fruit orchards. This, paired with an inherited family interest in cooking, led to a passion for always sourcing locally that he has continued to carry with him throughout his culinary career. Hale followed the call of cooking to Lake Tahoe Community College, where he received an Advanced Degree in Culinary Arts.
