CMC ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Sue Graham, CMC Spring Valley Class of 1974

“My experience at CMC opened my heart and mind to so many possibilities that I had no idea were out there. My professors connected me to my potential that I didn’t know I had and most of them and several fellow students became lifelong friends. I grew up in the Midwest so CMC was also where I got my love for skiing (and) hiking. Anything to be in the mountains.” In 1979 Sue was the first woman inducted into the prestigious AdAmAn Club, joining a group of mountaineers who summit Pikes Peak every New Year.

Ty Hall, CMC Leadville Class of 1991

Tennessee Pass Nordic Center owner

“I found my passion in the Ski Area Operations program at CMC Leadville. The knowledge and experience I gained from great instructors set me up perfectly to successfully own and operate my business. Being in the snow sports industry is exactly where I wanted to be and I am thankful that CMC gave me the motivation and skills to fulfill my dream. I probably wouldn’t have finished college if it weren’t for CMC”
