Planning and taking a family winter vacation can be a daunting task, which is exactly why Krista founded Snowmamas. As the Director of Marketing for Park City Mountain Resort, Krista has chatted with hundreds of moms and dads to understand how to make a winter vacation more fun for everyone.

An early lover of the sport, Krista started skiing at the age of two. Raised in the mountains of Montana and Colorado, Krista made the move to Utah 15 years ago. Coming from a family of five girls, Krista knows the difficulty of planning and taking a winter vacation. Krista is the snowmama to two boys under the age of two and can't wait to share her love of the snow with them.
