After growing up ski racing in Vail and attending college at CU Boulder, I met my wife and skiing partner, Susan. We spent a few great years in Park City before settling in Golden, Colorado, where we’ve lived since 1997.

​

I’m a lifelong skiing enthusiast who loves everything about being in the mountains—whether it’s skiing deep powder, carving fast groomers, touring the backcountry, or simply riding the chairlift. I've been fortunate to ski all over the world, from world-renowned resorts to hidden local gems, but Loveland Ski Area remains my home mountain.

​

I have a knack for planning ski trips and an uncanny memory for trail maps and terrain. Whether leading family members or friends on the slopes in the West, Canada and Europe, I take pride in guiding others to terrain that suits their style and helping them discover the joy of skiing.

​

This website is a place to share my ski experiences and help others plan memorable trips. You’ll find reports on the ski areas I’ve visited and detailed trip guides, including logistics, lodging, local tips, and yes—where to Après Ski. While I won’t be sharing secret stashes or run-by-run breakdowns (those are for you to find!), I do offer insights that can make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for help with a specific destination or want advice on planning your next ski adventure. After all, every great ski trip should follow the perfect rhythm: Ski, Après, Sleep, Repeat.
