You just can’t keep Trista in one place. When she’s not studying Spanish at MSU, she’s often galavanting all across the world with her ukulele in tow. Hiking during the summer, visiting farmers markets, and eating an absurd amount of vegetables are just a few of the things that occupy this nomads time.…

You may be asking “who’s that guy wandering around on the ground while we zip?” That’s Kris! A photographer in Breckenridge, CO in the winter, this guy shreds on his snowboard and documents how good it looked! Kris helps us all keep the memories at YZ by snapping those pearly whites in zipping action! He is also an awesome climber and musician.

Who knows what he does in his free time because it seems he doesn’t have any!
