Ladies of Winter
Kerry Banana
Filthy Animals first. And rounding out the four of us is Kerry Bannon! Kerry moved up to Tahoe with me my second season and hasn't looked back. She's got a man with a good mustache, one of the most epic dogs in history, and a sweet pad on the West Shore. Why leave? Kerry works for Squaw in the winter and life guards at the lake in the summer. Truly living the dream!

McFly
The woman, the myth, the legend...McFly. She showed up to Squaw Lift Ops in Airwalk boots like a true OG... we met on the Funitel... I told her I would ruin her life... I never let her down... and she never let me down. Here she is on her journey from Colorado to Mountain View via Jackson Hole!
