Competition experience: I competed moguls for 3 years sprinkling in some big mountain training before turning focus fully towards IFSA Rocky Mountain Region. I competed in multiple states at the regional and national level. Then transitioned to focusing on bikes competing in Category 1 UCI sanctioned events. But now I’m back skiing full time for the UVM Free Ski team focusing on IFSA qualifier series and working my way into hopefully USASA competitions in the next few years.

 

Specialty: I love skiing steep and technical lines of the West. I am working on trying to find them in the Northeast. I also have a project to ski all of the 5,000 plus foot peaks in the northeast. So I like skiing big lines fast and if your kids have had me. I am a huge stickler for proper hand position when skiing!
