SUSANNA MAGRUDER

BIO

For the past 10 years, Susanna Magruder has been skiing and traveling the world, from Jackson Hole, to Kashmir and Japan, and especially throughout the Alps, pushing herself in the mountains. Based in Verbier, Switzerland, she has been coaching women’s backcountry/freeride clinics and exploring the endless access and touring the Alps offer. She now co-manages EpicQuest’s European operation, and is an architect of their women’s programs.

Furthering women’s skiing through travel and exploration is her goal, by empowering females through her accomplishments and by guiding them to greater achievements. Susanna is a pro freeride skier for Rossignol, and a charter member of their True Colors women’s initiative, which deals with female-specific product design, marketing, and motivating female skiers to erase boundaries.

Whether on Telemark or Alpine skis, or on a bike, Susanna is a natural guide, and her enthusiasm is infectious. “To me skiing is just a way of life; how you spend the winter (and summer if you are lucky), a way to travel the world and meet people, a spiritual healer that brings me back to center. It’s my passion, my life”. Come join her for an unforgettable adventure in her backyard, the Alps.
