Steamboat Family Fun Made Easy with Erica Frank of Ski Butler
11/11/22 • 39 min
In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Erica Frank, the GM of Ski Butlers in Steamboat, Colorado. Erica gives tons of tips and insights to plan the perfect family trip to Steamboat.
Erica grew up in Utah, skiing at Brighton, Alta & Snowbird. She moved East for college still managed to find time on snow - she taught skiing at Shawnee Mountain and Camelback Mountain. She tells us about her first time visiting Steamboat on a family trip and falling in love with the area and all the incredible snow. She knew she would make her way back there and has been living in Steamboat for the past 3 years now.
Erica explains exactly what families can expect to find at Steamboat and how Ski Butler makes getting to the slopes fun and easy for families. Ski Butler is a premier ski rental delivery company that brings all the ski gear right to you in your condo or hotel. Imagine having a glass of wine in your condo while your kids try on boots - instead of sweating it out in the rental line. Ski Butlers rents skis, poles, snowboards, boots and even helmets and goggles.
Ski Butlers provides ongoing support throughout your stay, you can try different skis during your stay depending on your needs or even the snow conditions. Then at the end of your trip, they pick up everything.
We loved learning about Ski Butlers’ partnership with Steamboat Sports where families can rent soft goods like ski jackets and snow pants.
Erica even shares some of her favorite apres ski spots around town - like T Bar and Timber & Torch.

Meet the Mirnavator, Ski Mom Mirna Valerio
In this episode Nicole hosts Mirna Valerio, better known as The Mirnavator, an endurance athlete who fell in love with skiing later in life and never looked back.
Mirna tells us about starting her blog to make a place for plus size endurance runners that led to a career as a spokesperson for many well known brands including Lululemon, LL Bean and Hydroflask.
Mirna first took ski lessons over 10 years ago at Mountain Creek when she was a teacher in New Jersey. She loved it from the start, even though some of her early ski experiences ended with spectacular falls.
Then in 2021 she started taking lessons again at Sugarbush and Bolton Valley. She shares the ups and downs of learning to ski as an adult and letting go of control. She enjoys taking lessons at different ski resorts and finds it is a great way to get to know a mountain.
Mirna shares some of the challenges of finding plus size ski gear for women and where she has found some great plus size options. She hopes that more ski brands will expand to plus sizes in the future.
Follow Mirna on social media (links below) and you will see that she shares her ski journey in realistic full color, showing both the falls and the successes!

Ski Mom Halley O’Brien Brings Fun to the Mountains
In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Halley O’Brien, an avid snowboarder who has made outdoor adventuring her career as an on-camera personality, writer and producer. Halley is a mother of 3 boys (she just recently welcomed twins!), is the founder of The Snow Report and has her own podcast (Beyond the Apres).
Halley tells us about learning to snowboard at Mountain Creek in New Jersey and falling in love with it immediately - even though her tailbone did not :)
Halley walks us through her career path from a communications major to pounding the pavement at ski resorts and making her way into the ski industry business.
Halley started at Mount Snow as their on mountain “Snow Reporter”, and that led her to found The Snow Report. Halley moved out to Colorado and started her own production company - working with Vail Resorts, The Weather Channel, Snow Country and then pitched her own show to Ski Magazine.
Halley makes fast paced and super funny videos on all sorts of ski and snow related topics - from pond skimming to beer and gear reviews - we found ourselves laughing out loud when we tuned in.
Halley and her husband are teaching their son to snowboard (starting at 13 months!) at Mountain Creek on a Burton Riglet board, a board designed specifically for the tiniest rippers.
Halley now has a number of roles back at Mountain Creek and at Big Snow American Dream (indoor ski resort in New Jersey). Mountain Creek has a great ski school with progress based learning features that help guide new skiers as they build their basic ski skills. Mountain Creek has night skiing and is only an hour outside of NYC.
