Lisa

Raised near a ski resort in Utah, Lisa began her love affair with the snow when at age 5 she received the Christmas gift of ski lessons. At 15, Lisa hung up her skis for the new sport of snowboarding. Lisa met her spouse, Mike, on a blind date snowboarding. They have four children: two sons, 9 and 6, and two daughters, 3 and 1.

Snowboarding has become a bright fire that warms their family all winter. When it is not snowing, Lisa loves running, rollerblading, geocaching, jumping off diving boards and doing cartwheels with her kids. Lisa lives in Indianapolis and has tried the slopes in six states, finding that Utah is the greatest.
