A Denver native, I began a career in journalism in 1984 when The Villager Newspaper in Englewood, Colorado hired me as its first ski columnist. I became the subject of journalists after publication of my groundbreaking book WomenSki in 1994. A crusader and consultant for women's ski equipment and ski clinics, my writing focus at that time was to encourage women skiers by redefining skiing and campaigning for changes in equipment and instruction. The award-winning book garnered me appearances on The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and scores of other national, international and local media.
From 1995 to 2006, I lived in Breckenridge where I was a mountain host and guide for the ski resort. I also served as an Ambassador for the Town of Breckenridge and sat on the boards of The Backstage Theatre and Summit Historical Society. Now I am back in Denver where I cover travel, dining, performing arts, lifestyles, soft adventure for a variety of magazines and websites. My travel blog is Sleepin Around on GoWorldTravel.com.
