The challenge for the industry is… Global Warming!
The things I like about my job… I live in Aspen but I get to travel internationally, meet new people, wine & dine and ski a ton!

If I can, I always try to avoid… Drinking too much with travel writers!

If I could be someone else for one day I would be a…
I’ve always wanted to travel to… Bora Bora
