Derek Baum

Believe it or not, I gained my passion for skiing growing up in Michigan.  I became a world traveler early on, but always returned to my love of mountain sports.  Then I decided what I wanted to be when I grew up—anything that had to do with the ski industry.  So I relocated to Colorado in 1992 to attend Colorado State University, earned a degree in Natural Resources Recreation and Tourism, and began to live the life of my dreams in the high country.
I’ve been selling customized ski and snowboarding vacations since 1995, sharing with others my knowledge of winter sports, and my insider’s secrets.  It excites me to help people set up their ideal winter vacation at any location in the world.  I guess I’m one of those people lucky enough to earn a living doing what I love.  Look forward to working with you!
