Skier Profile: Jennie Mass

Jennie MassMs. Jennie Mass was barely accepted into this year's Ski Holiday program. The newbie was actively recruited by friend Liza Ashburn, with United Airlines as their common tie. Ms. Mass actually lives in Illinois — Chicago to be exact — where she sells wine. Hopefully not to minors. Jennie enjoys leaving the Midwest flatlands whenever possible. She is fresh off a ski trip to Breckenridge, and is ready for whatever cowboy country serves up.

Skier Profile: Mac Brown

Mac BrownDr. Mac Brown is another Ski Holiday newbie and also part of the Santa Fe squad. Mac was born in Boston MA, grew up in Alaska, and cheers for the Oakland A's. Figure that one out. Mac attended Carleton College for a BA Chemistry, and a PhD at Berkeley CA. Mr. Brown currently works at LANL in the Decision Applications Division, which means he's the go-to guy on anything decision-related .. including the paper or plastic conundrum. Mac claims to be the rookie skier of the bunch, but with lessons at Taos he will become a skier of great Jackson stature.

Elliot currently serves as the general manager of VasoLux MicroSystems, a start-up medical imaging company. Fun fact: in 1993 Elliot was a pineapple picker in Maui.
