About Us

Skier One started skiing at age five on Snoqualmie Pass in Washington State and is now in her mid-fifties. She believes skiing and riding are essential to life, bringing spiritual flavor to the Church of the Chairlift. Skier One recognizes and is grateful for the peace, serenity, beauty, action, adventure, and escape a chairlift provides her. Chairlifts feed her soul, but that is as close to religion as Church of the Chairlift will ever be.

Skier One has also spent nearly 30 years laughing at Slider One's wicked sarcasm and twisted sense of humor. While living in Bend, Oregon, a couple of years after college graduation, she unexpectedly met the guy who changed her views of dating and relationships. He was Slider One, who was then a skier. His humor will dominate Church of the Chairlift.

Slider One started skiing in his late teens on Mt. Hood. Ten weeks after welcoming their son in 1999, Skier One and Slider One moved from Portland, Oregon, to Denver, Colorado, for Slider One's career. Shortly after, Slider One tried snowboarding and converted to riding. The rest is history, including the move of Slider One's career into the Winter Sports industry for the next 10 years.
