Amy learned about adaptive skiing in the 1990s when a good friend was able to once again experience the thrill of skiing he had experienced in his youth before an accident took the use of his legs. Amy resides in the Vail Valley and is the Managing Partner at Dynamyc Solutions, a Management Consulting and Executive Coaching firm. Amy has more than 25 years’ experience in management, consulting, and coaching. Amy wanted to make a difference in her community and felt inspired and connected to Access Unbound’s mission. She believes the organization’s commitment to more inclusive and affordable access to the mountain for skiers with disabilities is imperative so that those who want to experience the joy and exhilaration of skiing have the opportunity.
