About The Author Jordan Gale is a ski resort guru. With over 1,000 ski days, the author can write to you about almost any ski resort as if it is a best friend. Jordan believes that since every ski resort is distinctive and every person is unique, there are certain ski resorts that are ideal for each person. Many people just haven't had enough time to visit enough mountains to find the resort that suits their skiing or riding style, their personality, their preferred amenities, and the ambiance that fits them like a glove. Jordan, an expert skier, has an intense passion for doing physical sports and a deep appreciation for nature. Like most experts, Jordan has adventured out of bounds, both heli-skiing and hiking, accompanied by ski buddies, beacons, shovels and probes. However, this adventurer's passion for skiing within ski resort boundaries remains enormous. Jordan loves the ski resort life. As a result, the information about each mountain resort can be instrumental in helping people find the ski resort of their dreams. The Guide was written to help skiers and snowboarders discover where they will most enjoy the slopes. Jordan also snowboards. It all started one November when there was no expert terrain open; it seemed like a good time to learn to ride. After a few days, love of the glide took over and it became a once a week rendezvous. A Wheaton College graduate, with an MBA from Columbia University, Jordan's knack for gleaning insights comes to life in enlightening information on every ski resort in the Rocky Mountains.
