Berklee Ryan selfie on the ski slopes
Berklee Ryann moved to a resort in Vail, Colorado four years ago without ever skiing before.
  • 26-year-old Berklee Ryann moved to Vail, Colorado four years ago to work at a resort. 
  • During peak tourist seasons, Ryann bartends about 12 to 16-hour days four or five days a week. 
  • The ability to travel and ski in her time off and the tight knit community is what makes her stay. 

Up until a few years ago, I spent my whole life in Wisconsin. I was born there, raised there, and went to school there.

When Covid hit, I moved back home again from college. Once the pandemic ended, I wanted to go anywhere that wasn't where I grew up.
