Skier Bio: Rebecca "Becca" Lamb

Becca LambMs. Rebecca "Becca" Lamb is the second Lamb to sign on with the Ski Holiday crew. Becca is Mark's other significant half — in fact, the Becca-Mark newbie duo is the only couple to join this year's trip! Ms. Lamb joins us from Marblehead Massachusetts, where she works out of home and from the road, managing clinical trials for Roche Pharmaceuticals. When Becca's not poring over data, documents, protocols, and processes, she enjoys cabins in Maine, cross-country skiing, and gardening sans pruning. Becca is from the Portland Maine area, and attended Trinity College in Hartford. And she is always smiling.

Tele-Skier Bio: Mark Auclair

Mark AuclairMr. Mark Auclair has never Holidayed with us and for no apparent good reason. However, Mark was the motivating force behind the '04 backcountry expedition into Gaspésie National Park in Quebec Canada — the same trip that Marc used his Man v. Wild / Survivorman savvy to care for the fallen sick while sustaining fire and demonstrating foreign language skills. Mr. Auclair is IT when it comes to IT; he is a systems analyst at Kronos Inc. where he gets to express himself in SQL, XML, JSP, UNIX, and other languages that mean little to the common desktop user. When Mark is not analyzing systems, you might find him in his Marblehead Massachusetts basement building chairs from scrap..or on the Singer mending windsurfing sails or sewing wheelbags from old bike tubes..or on the couch tying monkey fists — he'll make you one upon special request.

Skier Bio: Susan Brockway

Susan BrockwayMs. Susan Brockway is a Ski Holiday newbie! Ms. Brockway lives and works in Los Alamos (loosely translated as "The Alamos") with her daughter and cat. Susan claims to have owned a ski pass every year since 1972, which if true, fully qualifies her to be on this trip. When she is not schussing Pajarito Mountain, Susan enjoys biking, hiking, swimming, dancing .. and going to bed early in Las Vegas. Marc and Susan worked in the same office at The Alamos.

Tele-Skier Bio: Terry Jennings

Terry JenningsMr. Terry "T-Bone" Jennings holidayed with us on the 2007 trip to Verbier Switzerland. Terry immigrated to Nuevo Mexico from his Colorado homeland to work as an environmental consultant with North Wind Inc. in Los Alamos. When not jonesing for fresh powdah, he can be found riding his bikes, eating green chile, or saving the planet from environmental catastrophe. His hair has been known to get really big after a good day on the slopes.
