Skier Profile: Beth Eck

Beth EckMs. Beth Eck is a first-time ski holidayer, and joins this year's extravaganza via her DC Ski Club friend Derek. Ms. Eck is a native Washingtonian, although she recently abandoned her hometown for the inner Virginia suburbs and the right to vote. When not on the slopes, you can usually find Ms. Eck at the theatre, hiking in the mountains, or riding her bike. She has skied the Alps twice, but never on the Austrian side. We expect her fluency in Japanese to come in handy in Europe.

Boarder Profile: Chris Blizzard

Chris BlizzardMr. Chris Blizzard is another recruit from the Capitol City, and has never been to Europe. Mr. Blizzard is a Johns Hopkins alumnus, lives in Virginia, and works as a patent examiner. He began snowboarding in 8th grade while living in Japan. Fun facts: Chris saw Arnold Schwarzenegger on last trip to Sun Valley, and he claims to personally know US Ambassador to Austria. We hope Chris' last name breeds good snow fortune for us in March. Chris, Derek, and Marc sail together in Annapolis.
