Dan and Adrienne have lived and worked at Alta Snowbird since the early 1980s. 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 they travel to and bring wonderful food back to their guests. Their latest passion, SUP Surfing (standup paddleboarding), has them travelling to some fun coastal locations both in the US and abroad. Adrienne and Dan enjoy sharing their intimate knowledge of Little Cottonwood Canyon with their clients, whether it be recommending fantastic accommodations or leading the way down an exhilarating powder run. They are both very committed to the community of Alta and the surrounding area, donating their time to various non-for profit organizations and overseeing the Free Resort Shuttle.
