At Sugar Bowl, she cut her teeth as the “voice of the resort,” and honed her skills by connecting with guests and sharing the excitement in fun and engaging ways.
“You have to know what you’re selling,” White says.
After 13 years at Sugar Bowl, White drove to Grand Targhee with her father and husband on a trip that would ultimately establish the next era of her life. Her husband was a successful fly-fishing guide in Teton Valley, and she wanted to be closer to him year-round, so she became Grand Targhee’s marketing and social media manager. She is now in her fifth year with the resort.
White has embraced Grand Targhee and the Teton Valley lifestyle. As a trained farrier and horse owner, she enjoys equestrian pursuits as a way to connect with animals, people, and the land.
She also relishes the natural beauty of the area. “One of my favorite things about living here is watching the sun rise and set along the Tetons,” she says.
Since her first winter at Grand Targhee, White has watched the resort grow steadily. However, she is infinitely more concerned with sustainable, directed growth than anything else. Serving as the board chair for Teton Valley Chamber of Commerce for two years, until the Teton Regional Economic Coalition merger, she offers her time in a volunteer capacity to further affect the economic development of Teton Valley.
