Ruby Zitzer - Dance with the Mountains
Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Ruby Zitzer - a Bozeman native and longtime mentee of our co-founder Jeannie Wall. Ruby grew up competing as a nordic skier, and she now lives in Sun Valley, Idaho. She spends her winters working for Sun Valley Heli Ski and teaching avalanche awareness courses through the Sawtooth Avalanche Center. In the summer she works as a road, mountain, and gravel bike guide. She has a degree in English Writing and Human Development from Montana State University.
Tune in to hear about Ruby's childhood introduction to skiing and adventuring. She'll also read her story, Dance with the Mountains: a beautiful recollection of a ski traverse in the Sawtooths with her lifelong friends and ski partners Lizzie and Katie Gill.
This is one of two stories released on the podcast this week from the January 2022 issue of BroadBeta.com. Don't miss Lizzie Gill's story, Skiing and Hunting, in episode 6 this week.
