About the host

Hosted by Jen Sandberg

Host profile image
We are local Alaskans and most of us learned to ski at Alyeska. My Father surveyed and staked the First Chairlift at Alyeska in the 1950s. Living in Girdwood has been my dream since childhood. I have had the great luck to have climbed and skied the Chugach Mountains and the Alaska Range with pioneering climbs, heli guiding, snowcat guiding, including providing guide and rescue for extreme snowboard and skiing competitions in Valdez. My wife and I are benefited with four young adults ages 25 through 28 .. Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s in Alaska was a dreamy childhood with salmon and trout choked rivers in our back yards. We appreciate our guests and our goal is to provide you a taste of the beauty and serenity that a full canopy rain forest brings. Outdoor activities no matter what the sport are in our minds about "being there". Taking in your surroundings and experiencing the power of the natural environment and understanding your place in it. Have a great stay!

David is a civil and environmental engineer working in areas of pollution prevention, water and wastewater treatment and environmental restoration. He has operated a small engineering firm for more than 30 years and volunteered to environmental and governmental organizations to help steer environmental policy. He is recognized as Alumni of the Year via his alma mater Montana State University and is a humble recipient of the Carnegie Hero Award for his 7-day solo rescue of an injured climber in the Alaska Range. A TV "shockumentary" titled "Avalanche Alley" was produced that can be seen rotating on Discovery Channel. Jennifer Sandberg originally hails from Salt Lake City and Park City Utah and is a lot smarter than David when it comes to hospitality
