With RMI

About

Hannah grew up in sleepy Golden, CO, with backdoor access to extensive trail systems that fueled her insatiable desire to play in the mountains. She grew up skiing, trail running, and biking, dreaming of making a career around her love for the outdoors. Hannah graduated from Colorado School of the Mines with a degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering, working in engineering and investment banking for ~4 years before changing career paths to pursue her passions in the outdoors. She now works as a ski patroller at Telluride in the winter and a mountain guide during the summer.

When she’s not guiding, you can find her running big miles, finding any patch of snow to ski, climbing, mountain biking, traveling, and dreaming of new objectives in the mountains.
