That same year, Gleich did one of her first photo shoots-for Delta Sky magazine at Utah’s Solitude Ski Area-and she has been in high demand ever since. She also taught Gleich to take professional skiing seriously and to treat it as a career.
NORDICA ELEXA SKIS HOW TO
A therapist known for her ski camps focusing on mindset and her versatile work with individuals, Ulmer taught Gleich how to work with companies and photographers, acted as a life coach, and worked with her on the essentials of business, including how to approach sponsors. She told her parents of her decision, and they promptly hired Kristen Ulmer BS’97 as a mentor.
Gleich BS’10 always knew she wanted to be a professional athlete, and when she got into ski mountaineering in 2004 at age 18, she knew she had found her groove. (One of her favorites is Snowbird’s Pipeline Chute.)
Star of Warren Miller ski films, sponsored athlete, and product tester for outdoor brands such as Patagonia and Clif Bar, Gleich skis with fearlessness and joy off sheer precipices and down vertical shafts. When Caroline Gleich schusses down backcountry mountains at Snowbird, Utah, or Hokkaido, Japan, or Chamonix, France- blonde braids flying, wearing one of her signature handmade crocheted hats- watch out! The young woman known as a badass ski mountaineer is on the loose.
