She knows these mountains the way only a local can — the trails that don’t show up on the resort map, the spots worth the drive, and the little rituals that make a Panorama trip feel like something more than a ski vacation. The Panorama Guide is her way of passing that knowledge on, so every guest can skip the guesswork and get straight to the good stuff.
