Billy Harkins

I grew up in the suburbs of Boston but spent most of my time hiking, biking & skiing the mountains of NH, ME & VT. I graduated from The University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science focusing on geology. I have spent the last six winters living, working & skiing at Alta Ski Area in Alta, UT along with spending extensive time in the “mighty five” national parks of Utah. I chose to relocate to Jackson, WY this summer to experience access to two iconic National Parks. I’m excited to experience the hiking, the wildlife, alpine lakes and outdoors-focused lifestyle in an area with strong environmental values.
