Originally from MN, Mia's love for the mountains drove her out west to Colorado Boulder for University. After college, she worked in the snowsports industry living in CO, New Zealand, Argentina, Park City, and now Heber, UT! In addition to snowsports management, Mia has leadership and operational experience in industries including, hospitality, retail, outfitting, and outdoor brand management. She spends her time mountain biking, hiking with her dog Remi, snowboarding, teaching yoga, and going on van adventures.

​Why Are You Passionate About Trails and Serving WTF?

"Having access to the outdoors through trails allows people to connect to themselves and others physically, mentally and emotionally. I am thrilled to call Heber Valley home and to have a positive impact on our overall well-being through building our trail network and our outdoor community.”
