Chip Pine

My name is Chip Pine and I live in the Ski Ranches with my wife, Shawn, my son, Carlo and my dog, Maya.  This is my 12th ski season in Telluride, averaging about 65 days/year.  While attending The Whiteman School, I skied competitively with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.  During my freshman year of college at CU - Boulder, I competed in USSA Rocky Mountain Division J1 Mogul Events.   

My favorite runs in Telluride are the Spiral Stairs and hiking from top of Chair 12.  I try to hit the half-pipe on the way back to my locker everyday.  The last few years of skiing with Carlo and his friends has exposed me to the rest of the hill.  I plan to ski a variety of terrain and find each kid's favorite run in order to enjoy the diversity of our mountain. I love to ski with my friends and family and hope to pass along the mountain enthusiasam to the kids.

 

Moiz Kohari

I am very excited at the prospect of volunteering with team Gravity. I have lived in this community for almost 12 years and feel very lucky to be the father of my two children, Sarah and Noah. I feel volunteering with the ski team will allow me to spend quality time with my children and their friends. I am a very responsible adult who loves children and will demonstrate utmost care in taking care of the children.

Professionally I am a computer scientist with an accomplished career. Currently I serve as the Vice President of Engineering at Novell, Inc., a $2.5 Billion public company. I was also founder and CEO of Mission Critical Linux. However, my most precious moments seem to all take place in Telluride where I am fortunate enough to play hard with my children and friends.
