Emily began working in the ski industry five years ago for Uncle Bill at Hamilton Sports. After a one-year break to finish her Bachelors degree in Public Health in Denver, Emily is back at Hamilton Sports full time for the 2013/2014 season and hopes to never leave. Skiing for Emily began at the age of 7 when the Burke family would load up their 1990 blue and white Suburban stocked with thermos's of tea and hot chocolate to head to free ski school at Lookout Pass just outside of Coeur d'Alene, ID. Skiing, hiking, tubing the lazy river with her best friend Brie, riding her cruiser and road bike are a few of Emily's favorite things to do in Aspen.
During the winter season, if Emily is not at Hamilton Sports, she can be found on Ajax riding Chair 7 (the Couch) working on her goggle tan or eating pancakes at the mid-mountain restaurant Bonnie's. The sunny days, variety of terrain, and distance from the shop makes Ajax her top choice for skiing. Skiing daily is almost as important as coming to work. This year, Emily will be skiing on the Blizzard Black Pearl. The Black Pearl has a 88mm waist and is the perfect Aspen mountain ski; great on groomers and super maneuverable in the moguls. On the slopes, Emily will be sporting the Toni Sailer Arizona jacket. The mix of fashion and function is perfect for her style of skiing.
