Ryan Estella

Being born and raised in Jackson Hole instilled a love of skiing in me at a very young age. I competitively raced for the Jackson Hole Ski Club for a decade, ripping around Snow King from the age of 7 all the way through my FIS years. After high school I travelled around the world, but the allure of the Tetons has brought me back to the valley I call home. Winter is my favorite time of year, and I spend as much time as possible playing in the snow whether it’s at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, up Togwottee, or on the King. I am so excited to return to my roots at the JH Ski & Snowboard club, and to share my knowledge and passion for skiing with the next generation of rippers.
