Meet Our Board
Get to know the dedicated board members of the Leavenworth Ski Hill Foundation—a group of passionate volunteer leaders who serve in unpaid roles and generously give their time, skills, and experience to the community. They are committed to preserving the area’s rich history while carefully guiding a strong and sustainable future for Ski Hill and outdoor recreation.
United by a shared love of winter sports and outdoor recreation, board members work collaboratively to support programs, facilities, and year-round opportunities that connect people of all ages and abilities to the
Leavenworth Ski Hill and outdoor recreation. Through stewardship, advocacy, and community partnership, they ensure the Ski Hill remains an accessible, welcoming place and that its legacy of adventure, tradition, and outdoor enjoyment continues for generations to come. In addition, the Board has long supported a community ice rink/pavilion and continues to advocate for and support these facilities.
