Hanna Whirty is the Marketing Director for Icelantic Skis, an independent ski brand that designs and manufactures in their home state of Colorado. After graduating college with a degree in journalism and political science, Hanna switched routes and dove head first into the world of marketing. After spending a handful of years working for an agency for a client, Hanna joined the in-house team at Icelantic Skis 3 years ago. Photography has always been a huge passion for Hanna; her grandfather gave her her first film camera when she was 13 years old and the rest was history. Learning how to make photography more than just a hobby, Hanna was able to utilize her camera skills in various freelance projects along with her position at Icelantic.   Hanna completed her first Outward Bound course when she was 13-years-old and quickly realized the outdoors was where she felt most at home. When not on the slopes, sending emails, or drinking coffee, Hanna can be found learning how to mountain bike, cooking, or taking her pup, Zuma, on walks.
