Role at Skican:
Through my passion for corduroy and deep industry knowledge, I enjoy curating and tailoring mountain experiences to world-class destinations for our clients’ dream turns to become their favourite stories. I love sharing the joy that skiing brings me with my clients through a dedication to ensuring seamless and great value ski trips that check as many boxes off the wish list as possible, be it a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list ski holiday or the annual pilgrimage to carve turns in a different setting.

Favourite Ski Or Mountain Destination:
Although I want to say that it’s difficult for me to decide, it’s not. Jay Peak, hands down. There’s something about the wisping cold smoke powder, New England air, free outdoor hot tub at the Pump House, and rugged lifties who are just as excited on a powder day as you are that reminds me why I love skiing; it’s not that serious and it’s a whole lot of fun. This, from a Whistler local.

Where To Next And/Or What's On Your Bucket List?
Living in BC, there are so many to choose from! Red Mountain and Kicking Horse top my where-to next list. My bucket list trip is Palisades Tahoe in California (formerly Squaw Valley). As one of North America’s iconic and influential ski resorts, Palisades has been my dream ski trip destination since my teen years.

How Do You Like To Chill Out/ How Do You Spend Your Spare Time Outside Of Skican?
I enjoy spending my time outside all months of the year. Hanging at the lakes, hiking and exploring the mountains in my back yard, mountain biking, camping, roller skating, walking around without shoes on. Come winter time, you’ll seldom see me anywhere but skiing.
