Favorite Skier or Snowboarder: Racer- Mikaela Shiffrin; Freeride- Candide Thovex; Ski Mountaineer- Doug Coombs

Why do you work in the ski industry? Skiing has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. It is my true passion. I cannot think of a better way to spend my day than to share it with others, sliding on snow in the mountains.

What else do you do besides skiing/snowboarding? I am also an AMGA certified mountain guide, and I guide backcountry skiing, alpine expeditions, and climbing around the world. I run a business called Ski Divas LLC- Women’s ski camps worldwide skidivas.com. In 2020 I started a non-profit BIPOC ski camp for women (scholarship based). I am a mother of two young daughters, and we live together with my husband and our dog Willow in Jackson, WY.

If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why? I would love to sit down for dinner with The Buddha, and be enlightened.
