#About

 Originally from Toronto, Michelle started skiing when she was 3 years old. Michelle grew up travelling to Western Canada on family ski holidays, so it was an easy place to call home once she moved here after university. Once settled in Bow Valley, Michelle discovered yoga after fracturing her pelvis in a ski accident. She is now a licensed yoga instructor and teaches at various studios in the Bow Valley. During the shoulder seasons, she teaches Avalanche Canada youth programs and during the summer months, Michelle splits her time between working as a ACMG hiking guide and serving at a local hot spot in town.

#LaterInLife

I don’t see myself leaving the valley anytime soon. I’d love to see my yoga & hiking programs gain momentum over the next few years. Other than that, I just want to ski!
