How many seasons have you worked at Bluebird?
This will be my second.
Why did you want to work for Bluebird?
One day it dawned on me… I love the outdoor industry – I need to work in it! I love snowboarding and hate crowded resorts, it was meant to be.
What are you most excited for this season?
I’m super excited to be working onsite this year and living in an RV just down the road. I feel like I am going to be living out all my dirtbag dreams but winter RV living and I can’t wait. And of course – Boot Tan Fest!
Favorite skin track at Bluebird?
Lost in the Woodwards, so pretty!
Outside of Bluebird, where else do you like to ski/ride?
The trees at Steamboat on a bluebird powder day…or bombing groomers, also on a bluebird day. I’m very picky when resort riding 🙂
When not skiing/splitboarding, what do you love to do?
I live for rafting in the summer and squeezing in some peak bagging in between.
Aside from Bluebird, what’s your favorite type of bird?
The California Condor… I haven’t actually ever seen one, but I really want to.
Do you have an insider tip for guests visiting Bluebird for the first time?
Download the onX backcountry app, you get a free pro trial with your day pass and it works great, even when you lose cell service.
What is your favorite kind of burrito?
MMM breakfast burritos… smothered in hot sauce. I have a hot sauce addiction.
