Ellie Thompson, instructor
Ellie grew up on a dairy farm in Ithaca, NY and moved to Montana the winter of 2003 to pursue bigger mountains to ski! She has a strong love for the mountains, and desire to thrive in them whether mountain biking, backcountry skiing, wandering w kiddos, or rock climbing. She taught wilderness medicine for 10 + years, led backcountry ski/backpacking/climbing courses with NOLS, and has been ski patrolling for 17+ years in Montana, currently at Bridger Bowl. She has a husband and 2 daughters who keep her moving. She has always valued her own personal fitness, strength, and health, especially post-partum, and started to pursue this field professionally in 2021. She is currently certified as a NASM personal trainer, CF-OL1, Group Fitness Instructor, and Pregnant/Postpartum Exercise Specialist.
