I received my first pair of skis as a baptism gift. Growing up I attended Alpine Valley Ski Club with my family and Plymouth Canton Ski Club with my school. I took both group and private lessons at Boyne Mountain. Eventually I traded in my skis for a snowboard. As a family we enjoyed vacationing in Keystone, Breckinridge, Arapahoe Basin, and Vail Colorado.
