Meet the Business Owner: Heather G.
Owner-Leadville Outdoors & Mountain Market
B.S. Wildlife Science, WFR, AIARE Level II
Heather first came to Leadville in 1995 and immediately fell in love with the unique geography of the Arkansas Valley. After biology field work took her from tracking threatened lizards in the Sonoran desert, to monitoring and sampling commercial fishing operations in Kodiak and the Aleutians in Alaska, she made Leadville her permanent home.
Before opening Leadville Outdoors & Mountain Market, Heather spent 17 years in the outdoor industry. She thrives on the energy and interactions with folks she has met through this channel that combines both work and recreation and cherishes the way that the business has allowed her to more deeply know the Leadville community.
Heather also loves backcountry skiing, hiking up high, reading, cooking and messing about in the mountains with her partner in crime Zoolie the husky. She has loved winter and mountains as long as she can recall.
