I arrived in Sandpoint as a transplant from New York City seeking a first-class ski resort and that is exactly what I found!  I have spent the last 3 years working for 

Schweitzer Mountain Resort as the manager of Taps Bar and Bottle Bay Resort.  It is a dream come true to snowboard all winter and relax on our beautiful Lake Pend Oreille in the summer.

When I am not at work I spend my days soaking in the many activities Sandpoint has to offer with my husband and 3 dogs.  I love to canoe, fish, hike, snowshoe, cross country ski and of course to snowboard!

Prior to moving to Sandpoint I worked in medical device sales in NYC.  With my 

many years of food and beverage and sales experience I look forward to planning you a truly unique and unforgettable experience at Schweitzer Mountain Resort.

I recently relocated to northern Idaho from Steamboat Springs Colorado.  I enjoyed my life as a ski bum for many years in Steamboat, and decided to make a career in the industry. 

My first winter at Schweitzer was more than I could have asked for. The snow was deep, light and plentiful.  The mountain has wonderful terrain for all levels and the tree skiing is rated 3rd best for a r
