Meet the Team

Monte, aka “Rufus,” has been working with Andrew and the shop since 2018. His relationship started as a team member of the shop's Meister team, the Remax Rebels. After Andrew’s departure from the team, Monte led the rebels to two league-winning seasons. During that time Andrew developed Friday Night Lights, where Monte was introduced to the uphill skiing world. Together Monte and Andrew co-direct Last Man Standing races, as well as other events. Andrew does most of the work, and Monte is around to take the blame should anything go wrong.

Spencer is that guy you spot in the mountains wearing something wildly inappropriate for the conditions—usually no shirt, sometimes questionably short shorts, and always with alarming confidence. A backcountry skier, trail runner, and climber, he spends his days chasing fresh lines, big miles, and granite walls. Sunrise skins? Check. Racking up for a new route before you’ve gotten out of bed? That’s Spencer. He’s got the local beta, boundless energy, and the kind of stoke you can’t fake.

A longtime customer turned local, Greg moved to the valley a few years ago and wasted no time joining the team. He learned to ski at Cranmore at the tender age of three and has been hooked on the Whites ever since. When he’s not working, Greg is usually skiing (shocker), running, or grinding gravel on the backroads of Tamworth and beyond. A proud #amcommute enthusiast, he’s often spotted in Tuckerman Ravine on his trusty Black Crows Navis. Greg is also a certified gear tinkerer, constantly swapping out his quiver in search of that perfect piece of gear—until next season rolls around.

His ideal day? A proper breakfast, a big spring mission on the eastern slopes of Mount Washington, a burrito for lunch, and a couple of cold ones at Ledge Brewing to close it out.

Kyle spent nine years in the shipping industry before recently landing at the shop in Jackson—trading freight schedules for face shots. A proud monoskiier, he’s been known to take his single plank deep into the backcountry thanks to the mythical “split-monoski.” When he’s not lapping Tuckerman, you’ll usually find him planning ski trips to Katahdin in Maine. He’s also partial to what he calls “aggressively long walks in the woods” to ski mediocre conditions.

If you want beta on zones outside the Presidentials—or you’re “mono-curious”—Kyle’s your man.

Originally from Concord NH, Zan developed a passion for recreation in the White Mountains while living just south of Franconia Notch in Plymouth NH. What began as hiking grew into trail running and a background in mountain biking translated well to learning to ski as an adult. After a season spent skiing at the resort, with the guidance of White Mountain Ski Company, and a growing passion for exploration, a transition to the backcountry was made. Today, much of his time is spent looking for new areas to ski and in search of places to swim after a long run. Some of Zan’s White Mountain favorites include King Ravine, The Pemigewasset Wilderness, Brutus Bushwhack, Henderson Ridge, The Quay, Emerald Bluff and The Tom Wiggin Trail, to name a few of many.

Grace grew up spending weekends skiing and hiking in the White Mountains before moving to the Valley full-time in late 2025. A longtime competitive runner with a background in track and cross country, she has recently taken to the trails and spends much of her free time exploring the Whites on foot. She still loves racing on the roads and track, but has found a new appreciation for trail racing and longer days in the mountains on more technical terrain. She’s “ultra-curious” but still sticking to sub-ultra objectives for now. Her latest obsession is her new gravel bike, and she’s developed a love for picnic-style mountain objectives. In the winter, Grace feels at home on both Nordic and alpine skis and is looking forward to putting her new touring setup to use this season. When she’s not in the mountains, she’s usually making the drive to the coast to surf.
