 Raul Leon
Raul has become an integral team member at Moving Mountains and he has been in Steamboat long enough to almost be considered a local. He has assisted with office operations, chalet management, reservations and guest services while building on experience gained working for the Steamboat ski mountain for several previous seasons. In both Steamboat and Six Flags amusement parks, he received awards for exceptional customer service. His knowledge and enthusiasm for Steamboat is evident as soon as you meet him.
Raul also made his name with Comunidad Integrada, a non-profit organization based in Steamboat that works to build and promote an integrated community.
His role included publishing a bi-weekly column in a local newspaper. He was also written up in the Steamboat Magazine for his contributions.
Raul hails from Mexico City but has also lived in Ecuador, Panama, Dominican Republic, and Kyrgyzstan before making a home in Steamboat.
He likes to snowboard and gets out on the mountain whenever the chance presents itself. Raul's many other talents include an amazing ability to smile at all times -which always goes down well with people on vacation!
Lulu Martin
It seems that cooking has been in Chef Lulu's blood since the beginning of time. She began in her Mum's kitchen making home-made pasta from the age of 8. Her education continued at Colorado University in Boulder and culminated in a degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University in Denver. The lure of skiing brought her to the Colorado Rockies. Since graduating she has worked in Aspen (Hotel Jerome & Lulu Wilsons) and Vail (La Tour) before she came to Steamboat to joing the MM Team.
Lulu doesn't stand still for long. If she is not cooking, she is usually skiing, biking or hiking. Like many of our staff she loves to travel and has explored the UK and Europe as well as Singapore and Bali.
 Karen McNish
As the daughter of a submariner, Karen spent her childhood living in Navy bases in the US and Pacific.
After a spell as an analytical chemist in Texas, Karen moved to Scotland and started teaching at a private school in Edinburgh.
Scotland offered an outdoor playground of whitewater kayaking, ski touring and sea kayaking.
She decided to combine a love of cooking with a love of boats and went to cooking school to formalize all those years of party-giving. She apprenticed in two of Edinburgh’s top restaurants and in a Highland hunting lodge. From there she worked on boat-based wildlife tours and private yachts around the world.
Boats seem to congregate around warm, sunny beaches and Karen felt a yearning for the white stuff; hence her choice to work with Moving Mountains in Steamboat.
Karen’s ski touring has led her to week long ski trips in New Zealand, the Swiss and Austrian Alps, Norway, BC, and Colorado. She is happiest lugging a backpack UP a slope as her downhill telemarking skills are always a source of amusement for onlookers.
Karen is looking forward to the end of the season when she will perhaps be able to make it down the slope without falling.
