The Doc’s Ski Haus Crew
David
David started skiing when he was a little grom and has been on the slopes ever since. Foiled in his attempt to go to college in the mountains, and not brave enough to quit and be a ski bum, he finally landed in a ski shop when he came to Doc's in 2005. After living in Kentucky for most of his life, he’s happy to be living closer to some real mountains. When he can escape the shop, David can be found turning-and-burning at Mammoth or Alta with his wife and son.

Justin
Justin knows wine, knows biking, and he’s in the Haus because he knows snow. A former ski racer, Justin has carved up a lot of the West, but he’s puting it back together in Doc’s Service shop. He looks forward to swapping stories with you during your next boot fit.

Natalie
On loan from the local PTA, Natalie is Doc’s Ski Haus room mom, assigned to help you solve the puzzle of suiting up for a super snow day, just right for your style, size and budget. Like any other carny princess working in a beachtown ski shop, she’s here for the customers…and the snacks.
James
No pretty head shot here. James prefers to be on the mountain than in the shop. In fact he's never in the shop - he's busy tweaking the website from across the country. The only time he's around is when he's joining us on the mountain to test equipment for the shop. James was a racer-punk growing up in the east. He even skied a small pro/am tour a few years. So of course carving rock hard groomers and ice is in his blood. However he has finally learned to appreciate "ridiculously fat skis" in the pow.

Miller
Going on 11, Miller’s skied with his dad (David) since he was three and has added snowboarding to his mountain resume. Though he hasn't spent as much time in the snow as the rest of the staff, Miller knows his way around the ski slopes and the ski shop. When he's not in school or playing with friends, Miller can often be found entertaining visitors at the shop. He's also the official tester of all of the kid's equipment.

Stephanie
Hailing from Minneapolis, Stephanie took advantage of the climate and adopted skiing as her winter sport at an early age. Traveling from the hills of Minnesota to the mountains of Colorado, Stephanie refined her skills and fell in love with ski culture. While performance, warmth and comfort are all factors to consider when outfitting for new gear, Stephanie believes that looking cute on the mountain trumps all!

Sheryl
Sheryl grew up in the Great White North known as Canada. It seems that winter lasts nine months there, so she was able to spend a lot of time in the cold and some great times on the slopes. A California girl now, the Sierras feel like home.

Rosemarie
Rosemarie started skiing at the tender age of five. She rode throughout the East coast, Canada and Austria. Three years ago, she picked up snowboarding and has been rippin' up the West Coast ever since. Goals include nailing a front and back side 540, successfully launching and landing a 40-footer and bombing down any mountain non stop!

Kevin taught skiing and snowboarding at Wilmot Mountain and has skied all over the U.S and Canada, as well as countless peaks in Southwest Colorado while backcountry skiing.

Nic
Nic is the founding (and only) member of the Doc's Ski Haus band. Not only does he kill it on the drums, he's classically trained at playing the triangle. When he's not rocking out, Nic plays in the powder at Kirkwood or dishes out some product knowledge at the shop. A snowboarder for six years and shop kid for four, Nic's got the scoop about snowboarding gear. Ask him anything from what bindings to ride to where to find the gnarliest terrain.

Mike
Michael Muth is our shop's Gold Medalist (Nastar Nationals!). A Colorado native and competitive skier since age 11, Mike's plenty fast on the snow, but he takes his time in the store, matching customers with just the right boots, skis and gear. The folks at Good Samaritan Hospital, where Michel administrates, think he's theirs. But our store dog Della told us that Mike's living his dream when he's in the shop, helping skiers, and dreaming about snow!.

Della
The Doc's Ski Haus official mascot. After all, every great ski shop needs a dog. To say that Della has favorites would not be completely accurate. She loves everyone who walks in the shop and would be more than happy to tell you about her favorite gear.
