Sometimes, when you’re in a pickle, 1 Hail Mary isn’t enough.
It takes 2.
In case you haven’t already, meet Aubri & Mel, our new Hosting Couple who will be leading the charge on your guest experience for the rest of 2023!
Like all hosts who find their way here, their path is equal parts preparation, magical timing, and a spirited leap of faith forged over years of van living and exploration.
6 days before Aric and Kristen wrapped up one of the hardest working seasons this land has ever seen - record snow, new yurts, & all the regular challenges of off-grid hospitality, their hired replacements called to say they quit before they even started.
That was June 15th. If you recall, we put out a call to our community for a Hail Mary miracle to find a stellar team to take their place on, wait for it, June 22nd.
Thankfully, we were interviewing Mel for our Events team and after getting to know her wife Aubri, nothing had ever been so clear to us all - THEY WOULD BE PERFECT!
So, 6 days later, our Hail Mary’s showed up with their kitties and dog and dove right in.
With a collective experience leading outdoor adventures for REI, designing movie sets, producing Pride parades, and living their dreams on the road, we could not be more thankful to have their smiles, hustle, and heart holding space for you and your families over the months to come!
Aric & Kristen, thanks for leaving our land infinitely stronger than you found it and welcome to the fam Aubri & Mel!
