Executive Board of Directors

Kenzie Brunner (She/Her)

President of MBA and Outreach Committee chair

With a background in the psychology of skiing, Kenzie works for a recreation non-profit by day, and can be found skiing and/or mountain biking in Stowe with her husband and two dogs outside of office hours. Kenzie is passionate about bringing the ski community together to enjoy what makes the Green Mountain State so unique. You'll find Kenzie post-ski living her true midwestern life by enjoying a pop!

Aaron Rice (He/Him)

Vice president of MBA and Barnes Camp Access Committee co-chair

Aaron was introduced to backcountry skiing in 2008 while attending UVM and to put it lightly, fell in love with the sport! Aaron currently holds the world record for most human powered skiing in a calendar year - skiing 2.5 million vertical feet in 2016. Though rumor has it a shirtless, absurdly tan Stowite is rapidly chasing his record.

Ryan Darlow (He/Him)

Treasurer of MBA and and Sanctioning Committee Chair

I came to Vermont for school and I stayed because of the broad community of outdoor activity enthusiasts that I found.

Dennis Kramer (He/Him)

Secretary of MBA

Former city kid who likes good skiing almost as much as he likes bad skiing. A little obsessed with speed and vert. Good at mountain biking but only the uphill part and only when it's not too technical.
