Dan Ketner and Adrienne Ruderman
Dan and Adrienne have lived and worked at Alta and Snowbird since the early 1980’s. Their love of skiing and Utah brought them together and it is this passion they share with all of Alta Chalet's guests. They travel extensively in the off season so that Dan can learn the cuisine of the various countries that they travel to and bring it back to their guests. Adrienne and Dan enjoy sharing their intimate knowledge of the canyon with their clients whether it be recommending fantastic accommodations or leading the way down an exhilarating powder run.
