JEREMY JUSTUS

Jeremy began snowboarding at a young age in Pennsylvania, and quickly fell in love with the sport.  Once he could drive, he got a job teaching at the local hill to earn his ski pass, and he received his first teaching certification the next year.  After high school was over in 2010, Jeremy moved to Colorado to snowboard real mountains with hopes of riding in enough powder that he needed a snorkel (which came to fruition here in Steamboat)!  His first year in Colorado, he began to get involved with STARS as a volunteer. As a volunteer, he found a whole new part of the snow sports world that had previously been unknown to him.  He learned to ski to serve more individuals, and in doing so, he found a new passion for helping others to enjoy the mountains. One year later, Jeremy was hired as a part time instructor, which then turned into a full-time instructor position a few years following. Jeremy has received multiple certifications to continue his growth and knowledge in the snow sports field. With all the experience and knowledge he has gained, Jeremy is an absolute asset in executing the mission by serving as the STARS Program Manager.

Why Jeremy Loves STARS…
“I love STARS because I have made many friends along the way, and I love helping others to experience and enjoy the freedom of being on the mountain in their own way.”
