Nicole Pelletier
Born and raised in Aspen, my kindergarten aspiration (now framed on my wall) stated "What I want to be when I grow up: Ski Bum!"...dreams come true. I have lived and skied all over the world, and after being lured to Utah for an office job with Rossignol, ultimately stepped away from the cubi-cell and returned to work as a freelance writer, artist, and race coach with the Park City Ski Team. When I'm not shoving little groms down race courses, I can be found exploring Utah's incredible backcountry powder or testing gear for Skiing Magazine.
