Rick Bouchier
Avid Skier, HQ'd Southern VT
Even breaking his leg while night skiing at the age of 5 didn’t stop Rick’s love of everything skiing and winter. Growing up outside of NYC, he took every opportunity available to put his boots and skis on including neighbors’ backyards. Rick even remembers wearing 2 pairs of wool socks, blue jeans and gators.
During his high school years, Warren Miller movies and skiers like Scott Schmidt made an impact and when he graduated from UMASS he moved to Aspen, CO. Rick’s dream of being a ski bum for life ended when he ran out of money and had to move back east where he got into advertising sales and ultimately digital media sales including 12 years at Yahoo!
With a home in Southern Vermont, specifically located in the town Londonderry (think Jake Burton), Rick is stoked to share his passion for the winter and his local area knowledge with the Avant Ski audience
