Ellie is originally from upstate New York, and came to Jackson to live near extended family and to experience mountain life. She has been a life-long skier, but had to re-learn how to ski powder after moving here, as opposed to skiing the east coast ice! When not working at the bank or teaching fun and challenging classes, Ellie enjoys spending time on all bodies of water here in the valley, biking the many trails on and off road, and loves taking her yellow lab, Meatball, on long hikes! She has taught cycle and condition classes since 2016 and has certifications in personal training and Schwinn spinning. Observing a student achieving something that they didn’t think was possible brings her great satisfaction!
