Who is this maven of skiing?
I'm Skimaven, the author of this Vermont ski blog, and I've been alpine skiing since I was about six years old. My Dad started my sisters and I out on the slopes of New Hampshire, while my mother (showing infinite patience) read in the base lodge and served steaming hot cocoa. How lucky we were, indeed!
I've been a ski instructor in the past—spending two sunny winters at Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado (before they put in the slopeside escalator and Starbucks!) and eight years of weekend teaching at Stowe, Pico and Ascutney resorts in Vermont and Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. Back in the day I worked for a couple of seasons in marketing at Stowe Mountain Resort.
Over the last seven years my snowboarding nordic skier of a husband (aka the Skimeister) has helped me branch out into backcountry and cross-country skiing and I'm loving it! Meanwhile I keep my snowshoes in the back of my car for weekend walks in the woods, and in case of an untimely automobile breakdown during a Vermont snowstorm!
During the work week you'll find me in the Burlington, Vermont, area where I do Web site development, publicity and online visibility work.
