Copper Mtn Expert
Detailed description
I can't remember my first day in ski boots... I bet it was hilarious. I'm thankful for a big ski family that got me started young and reckless at the little hill near my house in Minnesota. It's been about 20 years since then and skiing has become more of a lifestyle. I think I was always a bit of a weirdo for being the aspiring ski bum rather than play hockey, or pull fish through holes in the ice. Kind of flat skiing in Minnesota--not a lot of hill to work with. But I had no complaints. I just liked (still do) going fast, exploring with a friend, trying to catch some fresh air. After skiing too much for any academic good in college, and instructing a little on the side, I ended up moving to Colorado to instruct for Copper Mtn. I've found a career in the industry here for the past three years, where I'm fortunate enough to get to try and share my passion with the little shredders, as well as eat some snow and make beautiful snow angels. I spend my free time either at Copper or exploring Colorado and around Leadville.

I had never skied Copper before and was only going to be there for 2 days so I wanted some help from a local pro to make sure I was going to hit the best runs so as not to waste any time on the mountain. Matt sent me a great itinerary less than an hour after we spoke that was easy to download and follow on my phone and included some detailed notes about some of the runs that were super helpful. He also included some recommendations for après-ski drinks and a few restaurant suggestions for dinner which worked out great. Matt’s a great guy and I appreciated being able to tap into all his local knowledge.
