Terry immigrated to Nuevo Mexico from his Colorado homeland to work as an environmental consultant in Los Alamos. When not jonesing for fresh powdah, he can be found riding his bikes, eating green chile, or saving the planet from environmental catastrophe. His hair has been known to get really big after a good day on the slopes.

Denise AbdooMs. Denise Abdoo is no stranger to the Ski Holiday circuit. She hails from Denver, Colorado, where she works as a pediatric nurse practitioner in Emergency Medicine and Trauma at The Children's Hospital. Denise is a flexitarian which means she only eats flexi, a flexible, fibrous, organic foodstuff which I bet is made by Kashi and sold at places like Whole Foods.
