My Story
Lifelong traveler and skier. Founder @ Avanti Ski. Always looking for my next active adventure, ideally with a chic hotel. Tribeca-based, part-time in Park City and a mom to two small boys.
Travel Style
I enjoy exploring new destinations and experiencing them like a local or an insider would. Whether skiing every trail on the mountain, going rim to rim (to rim) of the Grand Canyon, or walking all around a new city, I seek action-packed days complemented by local cuisine and a luxurious place to stay. Family adventures are super fun too.

Alli helped us pivot when our original plans did not work out. She suggested great hotels and gave us a good sense of things to do in Santa Barbara. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

Alli (Founder, Avant Ski ) absolutely killed it! What an awesome trip! 6 phenomenal days where I don’t think it stopped snowing for more than an hour at a time. It just plain dumped! Never in 40+ years of skiing all over the world have I seen this much snow, sustained over an entire trip. Knee to thigh deep JAPOW every day! Really awesome, only better powder conditions I have ever had was heli-skiing. Loved Niseko, Setsu (lodging) was amazing, a great call Alli strongly recommended to me. Our family loved it -- the restaurants, Onsen, first class service, accommodations -- all perfect. Def glad we were in Hirafu for restaurant/nightlife/shopping opportunities. Only negative was Niseko was packed, a testament to the incredible snow and overall popularity of the resort! Even more so because weather and associated closure of upper lifts brought more people down low. 30 min gondola lines during the day, offset by the fact that lower lifts stayed open until 1900 with virtually no crowds after 1530 (so I could get 6-7 laps in before dinner). Kobe Tei yakiniku and The Alpinist over the top fantastic meals. Notably, everything Alli set up was super easy for us. The transfers, check in, lift tickets, rentals, ski school….all made our trip easy. Makes a big difference. THANK YOU Alli!

Alli truly knocked it out of the park with this recommendation. She made the entire booking process seamless, from selecting the perfect hotel to ensuring all of our travel logistics were taken care of. If you’re heading to Kyoto and looking for a luxury stay that perfectly balances relaxation and cultural immersion, I can’t recommend the Roku Kyoto enough. Huge thanks again to Alli for making it all happen!

Ski Right to Your Door: Aspen's Premier Ski-In/Ski-Out Hotels
In early April 2024, I enjoyed spring skiing at AspenSnowmass and did more than 10 site inspections. While there are so many wonderful hotels in Aspen, only a handful are proper ski-in-out. The Little Nell is the only ski-in-out hotel at Ajax Mountain. Located at the base of the Silver Queen Gondola, the service is top-notch and the whole experience is luxurious. From spacious King Rooms with mountain views to residences with up to four-bedrooms, comfort is top priority. The Viceroy and Limelight are wonderful ski-in-out options at Snowmass and the Ritz-Carlton is perfect for ski-in-out access to Aspen Highlands.
