I didn’t start skiing until I was 39 (now 40) but once I did, I was all in. What started as trying something new quickly turned into a passion, and I haven’t looked back since. Skiing gave me more than just a new hobby, it introduced me to an amazing, supportive community of people who genuinely show up for each other. That sense of connection is a big part of why I keep coming back to the mountain. As a therapist, I’ve also seen how powerful it can be to get outside and move your body, especially in the winter. There’s something about skiing that builds confidence, reduces stress, and helps people feel more present and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. I love helping others step out of their comfort zone and experience that same feeling and I’d be excited to bring that energy to the Snowbound community. I am a member of the Carve Bunnies team and in charge of outdoor therapeutic programs. We will also be participating at snowbound!
