About

I don’t remember not being a skier. Growing up in Switzerland, I skied with my brother on a hill behind the farmhouse. I started backcountry skiing in elementary school. Today, as an AMGA certified ski guide and AIARE avalanche course instructor, I am still passionate about skiing deep powder. I have skied extensively in the Alps and in North America.
According to my husband, my other expensive habit is climbing. My dad used to drag me up 4thclass peaks as a kid. This eventually led to a semester with NOLS and my ongoing fascination with the American West. I have climbed all over the Alps and I am still ticking off routes in the Sierra Nevada. I am an AMGA certified Single Pitch Instructor and an apprentice Rock Guide.
Being out in the mountains, especially on stormy days, is how I rejuvenate and gain strength for my other job as a mother of three daughters. My family and I live in Lee Vining, CA.
