Cherise Robinson
Cherise grew up in Lakewood, New York. It was a pastoral, lake-focused upbringing in summer with lots of outside time and on-water activities including racing single-handed sailboats locally and in Canada. In winter, Cherise ski raced through high school before going south for university at Trinity University in San Antonio, earning a BS in Finance. Those four years off snow were enough to drive her straight to the Colorado Rockies in the winter of 2010-11 to teach skiing in Crested Butte, and make up for some lost time on the slopes. She fell in love with the warm community and seriously fun terrain on the slopes there, and she’s been “stuck” in Colorado ever since, either in Silverton or Crested Butte.
Since arriving in Colorado, Cherise has taken up mountain biking and now rides avidly on the glorious single track in CB. When she needs her on-water time, find her sailing on Blue Mesa or crewing on big boat transports on the Mediterranean. One might also find her jumping into high alpine lakes, camping, traveling, sailing on Blue Mesa, tending to her huge houseplant collection, or cuddling her cat, Chairman Meow.
