Park Profiles Week Twelve
* Nina Ross*
Nina was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA where she grew up riding Seven Springs. She actually was a competitive mogul skier before making the switch to park, following her brother's footsteps. She paid for herself to attend Mount Snow Academy in high school and then moved to Killington to study Resort and Hospitality Management and continue her love for skiing.
Nina is currently the Snow Reporter for both Killington and Pico! She gets to show her love for the sport through her job. She is writing reports, taking runs throughout the day to chance the report, and updating the lift status for the whole mountain. What a fun job!
Nina's next move is to work in vehicle maintenance as a snowcat driver and take her experience out west. "I am not sure where I am heading, but I will be happy as long as I'm skiing!"
