Rob Woodworth is a level 300 certified Development Coach and Alpine Official who learned to ski before he could run. He cut his teeth as a FIS and USCSA athlete before pursuing a career as a professional stoke monger—sharing his love for the sport with a new generation. When not on skis, you’ll find him bike touring, trail-blazing, or daydreaming about life in the shire with his hound dog, Wrennie Mae.
