About

Hannah currently resides in Bend, Oregon where she constantly (maybe obsessively) pursues her passion for snowsports. An avid splitboarder, alpine climber, and competitive freeride snowboarder in the recreational realm as well as a snowboard patroller and snowboard instructor in the professional realm, she is always finding ways to be on snow (as of November 2023, she’s at 25 consecutive months of snowboarding every month).

Her close secondary passion is teaching and sharing the things she loves with others, and working to eliminate the educational and financial barriers that keep people from experiencing the outdoors. She has worked in wilderness therapy, outdoor education, and guiding since joining SWS in early 2023.
