Hi, I'm Janice
I have been working here at Alpenglow for close to 8 years. Besides helping customers on the floor I am the buyer for the accessories- belts, socks and insoles. I enjoy merchandising the clothes (my closet at home is color coded by style …so it comes naturally!). In the winter I am passionate about skiing both at the resort and in the backcountry - and over the past few years I have enjoyed learning to skate ski.
When there is no snow on the ground (and sometimes when there is) I enjoy trail running and backpacking. I try to sign up for a few ultra distance trail races every year as a goal to keep me training. Windsurfing has been a big part of my life for decades and I still love it – although these days it is much less popular (probably because it is so hard to learn!) I recently started Wing foiling and it is so much fun to learn a new way to enjoy time on the water.
My Story:
I moved to Tahoe in 2011. I was born in the UK and my parents immigrated to Quebec (near Montreal) when I was a toddler. I lived in the Montreal area until graduating from University and then I worked and lived in Toronto for 10 years. Toronto is a great city but like many big cities traffic is a nightmare and getting out of town to play in the mountains and lakes was always a pain. I decided to leave corporate life and travel North America skiing and windsurfing. During that trip we spent several weeks in Tahoe City skiing at what is now Palisades - it was one of our favorite places especially for the challenging terrain.
After traveling, I spent some time living in Calgary and Toronto and then my husband at the time was offered the opportunity to move to Denver. We skied Summit county and when we split up I lived in Breckenridge for a year before moving to Tahoe City – I remembered the skiing was great and I have family in the area – so it was an easy choice! I worked at another retailer here in town and taught skiing at Palisades before landing at Alpenglow full time in 2015. After living in many different places I was able to appreciate just how special the community is here in North Lake Tahoe.
