She is also a commercial raft guide and has her first responder certification. When she is not at work she can be found making snow angels or tubing the river.

Karen Esser - Event Coordinator

E-mail: events@asadurango.com

Karen joined ASA to get passes for skiing like everyone else--that was 12 years ago. Her skiing ended 10 years ago with a torn ACL. Now she volunteers just because she loves seeing all types of people out enjoying the natural beauty that we see all around us. She has helped on the Dave Spencer Ski Classic for most of the years that it has been around. In 2008, she was asked to be the Event Coordinator. As it seemed like a good fit, she was hooked! She does a great job talking to the businesses and people around town to gather support for our events. She says ASA is loved in Durango! Karen also manages the Edgemont Picnic Grounds and offers her services as a Personal Chef.
