Mary Burton

Mary lives at the base of the Teton mountains in Idaho with her husband and three wild boys. She graduated BYUI with a degree in recreation leadership, which she now fully applies to her family adventures. She spends her winters xc skiing pulling her youngest in a ski trailer, or teaching her kids to love the snow at Grand Targhee. In the summer she can be found trail running, floating a river, or bribing her kids with ice cream to keep them pedaling along with her.
