ASHLEY TEREN

FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

Founder and President Ashley "Uhu" Teren holds a Masters Degree in Education, USSA Coaches 100, and is a Level III PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America)  instructor. She strives to ski and give back to lesser known snowy regions of the globe. Ashley grew up ski racing in Utah and finished her high school education in Islamabad, Pakistan. She spent her college and graduate school years in Hawaii where she became an accomplished spear-fisher and completely forgot about skiing. Upon her return to the US mainland, after a 15 year break from skiing, she wholeheartedly immersed herself in the industry by skiing every month of the year, ski/summiting peaks in the summer, and honing her PSIA and USSA credentials in the winter. Ashley now resides in Sunriver, Oregon; she splits her time teaching skiing at Mt Bachelor, Oregon and Jackson Hole, Wyoming . Using frequent flyer miles Ashley travels to shadowy corners of the globe to discover new cultures, new lines, and creative ways to give back to local communities.
