Ted started with Meier Skis in 2010 when he met founder Matt Cudmore. Together, they moved Meier Skis out of Matt's garage and setup a factory in Glenwood Springs. Ted moved the company to Denver in 2016 and, like most small business owners, does way too many things to list here.
Ted is originally from the Boston area and grew up shredding the mighty slopes of Franconia, New Hampshire.
Michelle joined Meier Skis in 2018 after Ted’s "friendly encouragement" (AKA months of "please work at Meier") finally won her over. It was a twist she never saw coming when she was living her best ski bum life in Beaver Creek and Jackson Hole. With an advertising degree in hand, Michelle started out marketing small businesses in ski towns, which somehow evolved into marketing skis from a big city. These days, she balances Meier duties while managing life with Ted, two adventurous boys, and a dog with zero chill.
Michelle is originally from Michigan and fell in love with Colorado after a 30-hour train ride (each way!) from Holland, Michigan to Winter Park, Colorado.
Brad is originally from Minnesota and has been on skis since he was four years old - which means skiing has outlasted everything in his life except walking. With a background in opening breweries, Brad has an uncanny ability to fix (or build) just about anything
As General Manager, he keeps the front of Meier running like a well-tuned ski, making sure the shop stays on track and guests feel right at home. Whether it’s handling logistics, managing the team, or jumping into a construction project, Brad wears a lot of hats - and usually builds the shelves to store them, too.
Parker grew up in Connecticut and made the move to Colorado in 2016 to attend CU Boulder, where he studied Mechanical Engineering. He joined Meier in 2021 as a ski tuner but didn’t stay behind the scenes for long. He’s now our Director of Production and Engineering, making sure every ski that leaves the shop is dialed.
When he’s not managing production, you’ll find Parker out in the wild doing very important R&D on our skis… and shot skis. It’s all about product testing, after all.
Will is one of Meier’s versatile ski builders, seamlessly moving from the tune room to the press room and tackling the massive task of printing our ever-growing collection of ski graphics. Originally from Connecticut, Will keeps it simple: “I like skiing powder.” Same, Will. Same.
Whether he’s at the resort or exploring the backcountry, he’s always on the hunt for the steepest and deepest lines. When he’s not out chasing fresh snow, he’s making sure your skis are built to handle it.
James grew up in costal Maine, then spent his next decade in Colorado living in mountain towns. He started skiing at three years old and it’s been a big part of his life ever since.
James can usually be found in the press room with a big smile on his face.
Jackis from North Andover, MA. He grew up ski racing on the icy slopes of New England, and moved to Colorado on the search for powder. He has worked in the ski industry for over a decade.
