Ted's still skiing as much as possible, a sports he's been doing since age 3. Born in the east coast he grew up skiing in New Hampshire, honing his skills on the icy slopes of the white mountains.

Ted's love and knowledge of skiing is one of his best assets. Being able to test the multitude of equipment and then accurately describe that to the consumer is a big plus for a ski retail manager.
