Bio: I grew up in southern Vermont, and spent every second outside.  Vermont skiing became my whole world early on, when my parents stuck me on the lift at 2 years old.  I spent most days skiing trees in the side-country, and still find more adrenaline in a tight tree line than anywhere else on the mountain.  I moved to Colorado in 2021 to continue the dream of making my name heard in the big mountain ski scene.  The opportunity to use free skiing to represent a ski brand with such a pedigree in the mountaineering community is thrilling.  Hagan is blending uphill optimization with downhill dominance, and I am so grateful to be here to help push them forward!
