Our Values:

DO GOOD –

Describe a meaningful volunteer experience you've had in your life. When I was coaching baseball at Battle Mountain. One of our players had an unfortunate lose in the family. Our coaching staff organized a dodgeball tournament to help raise money for his family to get through their troubling time. A few teams of ski patrollers and guest service members showed up to help support our cause. It was a blast and a memorable experience I will never forget.

 BE SAFE –

How do you maintain your own wellness? I try to eat a healthy amount of fruits and veggies everyday including a delicious smoothie very morning and of course drink plenty of water. My gym is the mountain in the winter skiing every day, the river in the summer rafting every day and the football field coaching in the fall.

 HAVE FUN –

Tell us about the most fun you've had in the past year. Last winter two friends, my fiancée and I took a trip to Jackson Hole and it happened to snow 46" in the 3 days we were there...it was epic!
