Originally from Maine, Jill Matlock grew up ski racing all over New England and attended the University of New Hampshire where she competed in four NCAA D1 National Skiing Championships and graduated with a teaching certificate in Physical Education and Outdoor Education.
Jill coached ski racing for six years at the Green Mountain Valley School in Vermont and the Carrabassett Valley Academy in Maine before moving to Crested Butte with her husband Ross in 1993, where her passion for skiing has only grown. Jill competed on the Extreme Skiing circuit in the late 1990s, is a four-time Crested Butte US Extreme Skiing Champion, and a podium finisher at the World Extremes in Valdez, Alaska.
As a 30+ year veteran of the Crested Butte Mountain Resort Ski & Ride School, an alumna of the elite PSIA National Alpine Team, and co-founder of International Mountain Adventures, Inc (IMA), Jill continues to share her passion for skiing with others here in Crested Butte and around the world.
Jill’s motivation for being a CBSF Board member and Board President comes from her background in skiing. She grew up in a rural town in western Maine with a small family-owned T-bar hill, and skiing was an affordable sporting option for her and all her friends. Everybody skied! Now living in a resort town, she has seen the need to help local kids go skiing and stay skiing. Skiing was such a positive and integral part of Jill’s life experiences that she would like to share that with everyone and help the youth of Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley have continued snowsport opportunities, whether they be competitive or recreational.
Jill is also a Realtor with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, and has enjoyed exploring the CB outdoors with her husband and two boys.
Dig the 80’s vibe? Scott first set ski to snow in Crested Butte in the 1985/86 ski season. Being a regular visitor to CB in both winter and summer led he and his wife to living full time in Crested Butte in 2019, just in time for a worldwide pandemic.
Professionally, Scott worked 20+ years in the management consulting industry, both nationally and internationally. He also started two non-profits, served on city council in two different cities and finished his career in Crested Butte working for Toad Property Management, managing 23 of their 45 HOA’s.
Scott was drawn to working with the Crested Butte Snow Sports foundation after his son Paden passed away after a short battle with cancer. Paden was a ski instructor for the Mountain Adventures and Cruisers youth programs and loved working with those kids as much as they loved him. CBSF is honored to continue Paden’s legacy of helping the Gunnison Valley youth learn to ski through the Paden Castles Kelley Memorial Scholarship.
