He
is a keen skier and snowboarder in the winter, taking advantage of the many powder days that come each year. In summer, he bikes everywhere both on the mountain and around the many roads in the valley and serves on the board of Routt County Riders, the local bicycle club and cycling advocacy group, as President.
Robin's

islands. As a professional yachtsman for several years, he covered many
ocean miles. He has competed in many international regattas and

Alex's love for the outdoors brought her to Steamboat Springs nine years ago
when she traded rainy England for the Rocky Mountains. Since then
she has pursued a career in the outdoor industry as a travel guide. As a biking
and hiking guide for Backroads International, her adventures have taken her to
the hill top towns of Tuscany, the medieval villages of Provence, and the
mountain hamlets of Switzerland. Then Alex swapped her
guiding hat to work with Backroads management team to create unforgettable
vacations from behind the scenes. She is excited to join the Moving Mountain's team so that she can
create one of a kind vacations in her home town.
