About
Michelle was born in Southern California and has always had a love of the outdoors, growing up hiking and camping with her family in the local mountains. While in college in San Francisco, she started climbing in Yosemite and the High Sierra and instantly was hooked. When she put on a pair of skis for the first time it was a life changing moment and she’s been a dedicated skier ever since, spending as much time as possible exploring the incredible backcountry of the Sierra.
Michelle was a volunteer leader for the Sierra Club’s Wilderness Travel Course for nearly a decade before moving up to the Eastern Sierra and is passionate about helping people get out into the mountains and experience the magic of the high alpine. When she’s not in the office, she’s out climbing, skiing, hiking with her dogs and trying to be outdoors as much as possible. She loves talking about the mountains and helping clients step out of their comfort zones and accomplish their goals, so don’t hesitate to call and chat!
