History:
Raised in the high desert of Grand Junction, Colorado, Hay grew up chasing dirt trails, river currents, and snowy peaks. Graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in Psychology and Creative Writing (plus a very unofficial minor in skiing). From there, it’s been a steady flow of adventure—rafting in Glenwood Canyon, earning LNT Level 2 and WFR in Wyoming, and spending a month backpacking through the Wind River Range. Time in the Tetons brought deeper study of snow science and an AIARE 1 certification, followed by seasons teaching skiing in Winter Park.
