My Skiing
Former racer, now mostly backcountry and ski mountaineering skier. I live in Vermont and ski both in the trees and in larger terrain, like Mount Washington and the White Mountains.
I travel a lot and have been going to Chamonix since 2017, skiing off piste and on glaciers/high peaks.
I also ski a bit in Utah (Cottonwoods) and Colorado (Telluride). We have friends to crash with in great places!
