I learned how to ski before I learned how to ride a bike! I grew up shredding my local hill at The Grand Geneva in Wisconsin, but I always had dreams of moving to the mountains after every family ski trip. I made my dream a reality when my husband and I moved to Colorado in 2018. We are the definition of Weekend Warriors, as we ski 70+ days each season while still maintaining a 9 to 5! I've made it my mission to ski every resort in Colorado (I've skied 14 in state so far). Breckenridge is my personal favorite (and the closest to my home), but I've grown to love the independent resorts like Monarch and A-Basin. I've checked off skiing in California and Utah and can't wait to plan the next out-of-state trip. From green catwalks to double-black bowls, there isn't a ski run that doesn't make me smile!

Although I'm an aspiring ski bum, I work full time as a Program Manager in internal operations at a global consulting firm. In addition to skiing for fun, I also volunteer at the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park. When I'm not skiing, I'm learning how to snowboard. When it's not possible to ski or snowboard, you can find me mountain biking or hiking with my three rescue dogs. I love finding my new favorite ski gear, and I hope to help you find your new favorites too!
