Meet the Board
A Board as Diverse and Adventurous as the Mountains We Love
Tomoko, President
Tomo was born in Gifu on a day when the snow gods went overboard — a foot of powder overnight. Her grandfather, suddenly cast as a sherpa in an action film, carried his laboring daughter through waist‑deep drifts to the main road, where a taxi driver waited, expecting skiers but instead picking up a brand‑new life.
Laura, Vice President
Vermonter who learned to ski at our local ski bowl, smuggs, and the occasional Jay Peak before moving to Steamboat Springs 20+ years ago. Single Mom to a now 18-year-old. Professor-Scholar and former National Endurance Athlete. Nickname is HollyWood. Motto is that love is always the answer.
Jihong, Co-Treasurer
What began as a dream for my children became my own later-in-life obsession. From my first turns in Chamonix to slopes across the globe, my skiing has transformed. I've traded dawn-to-dusk, all-weather endurance for the pure joy of fair-weather runs from a cozy ski-in/ski-out base.
Andrea, Co-Treasurer
This Slovak number-ninja swaps spreadsheets for ski speed. She’s been on skis since she was four and still thinks gravity is just free acceleration.
Mook, Legal Adviser
Cheri, Communications
From Minnesota’s slopes to mountain peaks, she’s all about blue runs, a strong pour at après, and a good dose of adventure. What began as private pilot flight training turned into a bold career move — trading advertising for flying drones.
Talib, Co-Secretary
Talib is the name Adventurer on and off the slopes, solotrekker — chasing snow, stories, and good company. Government gig pays for the powder days.
Jenna, Co-Secretary
Grew up on the Jersey Shore mountains—they say if you can ski ice you can ski anywhere! Strategic communicator, graphic design enthusiast, and here for the mountain vibes.

Kosta, Independent Director
The rebel in the group, the only snowboarder! Up for almost anything anytime, on or off the snow!
