Zoe Hart
In 2001 Zoe Hart heard about a small town with some snow in the French Alps called Chamonix. With a pair of telemark skis, the inclination to learn how to ski, a small repertoire of french and not much clue, she bought a plane ticket and a season pass. After tumbling down various slopes and getting the hang of it, she noticed the community of mountain guides surrounding her and thought "Why not?" Now, Zoe is one of USA's 4 female UIAGM certified mountain guides, one of less than 70 females worldwide. Zoe calls Chamonix home full time, or at least half the year. The other half of the year, when not guiding in Chamonix, Zoe is off on personal climbing expeditions around the world, or working on gear testing and design for Patagonia, Scarpa, and Black Diamond.
