My family joined Blackhawk in 2008 when my oldest child starting taking alpine lessons. Both of my children have participated in alpine lessons, Nordic Kids and mountain biking lessons. I started volunteering at Blackhawk by splitting wood, teaching alpine lessons and helping out during the first mountain biking lessons. I currently make snow and I groom the hills once a week. I joined the board in 2017 and the next year became the club treasurer. Since joining Blackhawk, I have taken up cross country skiing and I now spend a lot of my time in the summer taking advantage of our great mountain biking trails.
