I was born and raised in Keene, New Hampshire, and now reside in Winter Park, Colorado and absolutely love being outside and being active.
I moved a lot as a kid so didn’t have many holiday traditions. Since my injury, I always go skiing on Christmas Day with friends or my sister! The fondest memories of skiing on Christmas Day come from snowboarding as a kid with my sister and my dad. Every Christmas as a young child we woke up early and had cinnamon rolls and grapefruit. Now skiing on Christmas Day brings me back to those days as well as enjoying a sport I truly love to do. The empty mountain is always a nice perk!
