1978
In the fall of 1978, while finishing a computer science degree at University of Guelph, I opened a small ski shop called the Caledon Pro Shop. I had worked part-time in a ski retail store since I was 14 years old and I really enjoyed the industry. The customers, the vendors, and everyone involved were so much fun, so alive, and so passionate about the sport. I connected with them right away and took on the mission to get families outside and having fun in the winter; a mission that has driven me ever since.
