Behind the Goggles – Episode 15

Born and raised in Southern Vermont, Colby Ameden grew up with skis on his feet and racing gates as a kid, chasing speed, snow, and that feeling only skiing can give you. After college, the mountains kept calling—so Colby followed the snow west to Colorado, landing at Loveland Ski Area and finding his place downstairs in the Loveland Sport Shop at the Loveland Adventure Center. Now in his 12th season at Loveland, Colby has become a familiar and trusted face for guests starting their day on the mountain.

But this episode isn’t just about where Colby’s been—it’s about who he is on the mountain. Colby brings his heart, his passion for skiing, and his genuine love for the sport to every guest he helps. Whether it’s a first-timer getting geared up or a seasoned skier fine-tuning their setup, Colby treats every customer like a friend, making sure they feel confident, welcomed, and ready for an unforgettable day on the hill.

Behind the goggles, Colby is the kind of person who reminds us why we ski in the first place—for the joy, the connection, and the people who make the mountain feel like home.
