In this episode we talk with Mary Kate Buckley, President of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming. Mary Kate walks us through her amazing career path that started in advertising in NYC and led her all over the world before landing in her current role as President of Jackson Hole. Mary Kate grew up skiing at small local mountains in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and later as a young professional in NYC she joined a ski share house in Vermont.

We learn all about Jackson Hole and what makes it such a special place. Located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, you can fly directly to the Jackson Hole airport or make the 4 hour drive from Salt Lake City airport.  Jackson Hole is a year round destination where the town has an old west feel, complete with a town square. The ski resort of Jackson Hole is located 12 miles from the center of town. 

Jackson Hole is a place for people that love adventure and skiing, and has something for every budget from the Four Seasons to hostels.  There is terrain for every level and even separate areas for beginners and intermediate skiers. 

We get all sorts of great tips from ski rentals to their world class Mountain Sports School. Jackson Hole is unique in that they manage their mountain capacity by both pricing and reservations (for Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective).  Jackson Hole has an iconic tram that can get 100 people up the mountain at a time. We also learn about the amazing dining options both on and off mountain at Jackson Hole, everything from fine dining to grab and go. And be sure not to miss Corbet’s Cabin for a waffle at 10,000 feet!

In this episode we talk with Brianne Manz, ski mom of 3 (ages 14, 12, 10) and founder of Stroller in the City. Brianne has tons of great insights to share, including all sorts of details on her recent family Club Med ski trip. Brianne skied a little as a child, but it wasn’t until she met her husband that she got back on snow in Park City. When their children were old enough to ski, Brianne realized she needed to take lessons so she could keep up with all of them. As a family of 5 living in NYC, they have a storage unit to keep all the gear during the off season. 

Brianne tells us about starting her blog/website (pre-Instagram!), Stroller in the City, that covers all things mom, family travel, beauty and fashion. She gives us some insights into what it mean to be an influencer, how she works with brands and makes it all work for her family. 

We were so excited to learn about the family’s ski trip to Club Med La Rosiere in the French Alps. The resort is located on the border of France, Switzerland and Italy, they flew into Geneva and Club Med provided transportation to the resort.  Brianne shares all about her experience from the rooms, to ski rentals, and most importantly the food and drinks and ski conditions. The all inclusive resort rate includes room, food, kids club, even lessons and gratuities! There are also lots of other non skiing activities.  Read her full review here.

Brianne gives us some of her favorite picks for ski clothing for the whole family from Burton to Bogner. We also get her recommendations for ski day skin protection like Barbara Strum and Summer Fridays.

The weather is mighty gloomy in Vermont right now. We've had three days in a row of rain and fog. Not ideal conditions for a ski vacation. If you've booked your trip and are already at your destination, the best plan is to come up with activities off the slopes to keep everyone smiling. I'm sharing my go-to list of ideas of things to do when the weather stinks on your ski trip.

WARNING: THIS EPISODE TALKS ABOUT A FATAL SKI ACCIDENT.

In this episode we talk with Kelli Johnson, ski mom and co-founder of the Snow Angels Foundation with her husband Chauncy. Kelli joined us from her home in Thermopolis, Wyoming, about 4 hours from Jackson Hole.

Kelli shares the story of her family’s Christmas Eve 2010 ski trip that ended in tragedy.  Kelli was skiing with her 5 year old daughter, who had fallen and Kelli was helping her put her ski back on. A snowboarder going 50-60 MPH collided with Kelli and her daughter. Kelli’s daughter was thrown 30 feet and she passed away later that day. Kelli talks about the 3 months she spent at Craig Hospital in Denver, recovering from a traumatic brain injury. 

Kelli tells us the story of starting Snow Angel Foundation, to work to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.  We loved the foundation’s “Ride Another Day” video, that brings the whole story and message together. Snow Angels Foundation has presented at the National Ski Patrol convention, at many resorts and has an active social media presence.  Kelli still loves to ski, she wants all of us to have fun on the slopes, but she also believes that safety education and awareness can prevent future injuries.  January is National Ski Areas Association Safety Month, so look for events at your local mountain.
